Steve Lillywhite - American Girls lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge][x2] American girls, oh American girls American girls Oh, oh, oh, oh [Outro] 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
