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 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 

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
