American Girls -
by Counting Crows
| She comes out on Fridays every time | |
| 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 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 up to my hand | |
| 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 shivers shaking me every day | |
| But I could get the same thing anywhere | |
| So if she goes away | |
| Well, it's all right 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 all right, | |
| If it's alright, it's alright with you | |
| Then its alright, its 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 closet | |
| Trying on her clothes almost every day | |
| I could've been anyone you see | |
| I wish it was anyone but me | |
| There's 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 made you cry, please tell me why | |
| I'll try again if you 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, ya made me cry | |
| You made me cry | |
| Hey, miss American girl | |
| Oh, oh, oh, yeah |
