American Girls Lyrics

She comes out on Fridays every time an' stands out in a line I could've 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've been anyone you see She had something breakable just under her skin
American girls all weather and noise Playin' the changes for all of the boys Holdin' a candle up to my hand Making it 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 nothin' but porcelain underneath her skin
American girls are weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holdin' 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 okay 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 Then it's alright, 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 goin' through my closets, tryin' on her clothes almost everyday
I could've been anyone, you see I wish it was anyone but me There's nothin' but pills and ashes under my skin
American girls are weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holdin' a candle right up to my hand Makin' me feel so incredible
If I made you cry, please tell me why I'll try again if you let me try American girls are feathers and cream Come into 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 Yea, you made me cry You made me cry Hey, Miss American girl Oh, ohh Ohh, yea
