American Girls 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 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 under-neath 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
    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
    She could give anyone but me
    I wish it was anyone but me
    Nothing but pins 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 please tell me why
    I can try again if you ask me to try
    American girls are feathers and cream
    Coming to bed so edible
    American girls oh
    American girls 2X
    oh 4X
    American girls oh
    American girls 2X
    oh 4X
    You make me cry 5X
    Hey Miss American girls
