She comes out on Fridays every time
|
Stands out in a line
|
I could have been anyone she'd seen
|
She waits another week to fall apart
|
She couldn't make another day
|
I wish it was anyone but me
|
I could have been anyone you see
|
She had something breakable just under her skin
|
|
American girls are weather and noise
|
Playing the changes for all of the boys
|
Holding a candle right up to my hands
|
Making me feel so incredible
|
|
She comes out of closets every night
|
But then she locks herself away
|
Where she could keep everything from me
|
I could have been anyone you see
|
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
|
|
American girls are weather and noise
|
Playing the changes for all of the boys
|
Holding a candle right up to my hand
|
Making me feel so incredible
|
|
Little shiver shaking me everyday
|
But I could get this same thing anywhere
|
So if she goes away
|
Well, it's alright and I'm ok
|
Hey, she said come back again tonight
|
And I said, I might, I might, I might
|
She said, well that's alright
|
If it's alright, it's alright with you
|
If it's alright, if it's alright with me
|
|
I waited for an hour last Friday night
|
She never came around
|
She took almost everything from me
|
I'm going through my closets
|
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday
|
I could have been anyone you see
|
I wish it was anyone but me
|
Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
|
|
American girls are weather and noise
|
Playing the changes for all of the boys
|
Holding a candle right up to my hand
|
Making me feel so incredible
|
|
If I make you cry, you tell me why
|
I'll try again, if you'll let me try
|
|
American girls are feathers and cream
|
Coming to bed so edible
|
|
American girls, oh
|
American girls
|
American girls
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
American girls, oh
|
American girls
|
American girls
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
You made me cry
|
You made me cry
|
You made me cry
|
Yeah, you made me cry
|
You made me cry
|
Hey, Miss American Girl
|
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
