Counting Crows - 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 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
