American Girls

Counting Crows

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
