American Music Lyrics by Violent Femmes

American Music Lyrics

    Do you like amercan music
    I like american music
    Don't you like american music baby
    I want you to hold me
    I want your arms around me
    I want you to hold me baby
    Did you do too many drugs
    I did too many drugs
    Did you do too many drugs too baby
    You were born too late
    I was born too soon
    But every time i look at that ugly moon
    It reminds me of you
    It reminds me of you ooh ooh ooh
    I need a date to the prom
    Would you like to come along
    But nobody would go to the prom with me baby
    They didn't like american music
    They never heard american music
    They didn't know the music was in my soul baby
    You were born too soon
    I was born too late
    But every time i look at that ugly lake
    It reminds me of me
    It reminds me of me
    Do you like american music
    We like american music
    I like american music baby
    Do you like american music
    We like all kinds of music
    But i like american music best
    Baby you were born too late
    And i was born too late
    But every time i look at that ugly lake
    It reminds me of me
    It reminds me of me
    Do you like american music
    It reminds me of me
    Do you like american music...
