American Girls   





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, 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
