Counting Crows - American girls lyrics

Your rating:

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
