American Girls(feat Sheryl Crow Lyrics

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
