American Girls

She comes out on Fridays every time Stands out in a line I could've 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 all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible She comes out of closets every night Then she locks herself away Where she could keep everything from me I could have been anyone you'd seen she's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible Little shiver shaking me every day But I could get the same thing anywhere So if she goes away Well, it's all right 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 all right" If it's alright with you 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 closet, trying on her clothes almost every day I could've been anyone you see I wish it was anyone but me There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible If I made you cry, please tell me why Cause I'll try again if you let me try American girls all feathers & cream Coming into bed so edible American girls oh American girls American girls Oh, oh, oh, oh American girls oh American girls American girls Oh, oh, oh, oh You make me cry, you make me cry, you make me cry Yeah, ya made me cry You make me cry Hey, miss American girl Oh, oh, oh, yeah --- American Girls - Counting Crows
