1
She comes out on Fridays every time
2
Stands out in a line
3
I could've been anyone she'd seen
4
She waits another week to fall apart
5
She couldn't make another day
6
I wish it was anyone but me
7
I could have been anyone you see
8
She had something breakable just under her skin
9
[Chorus]
10
American girls all weather and noise
11
Playing the changes for all of the boys
12
Holding a candle up to my hand
13
Making me feel so incredible
14
She comes out of closets every night
15
Then she locks herself away
16
Where she could keep everything from me
17
I could have been anyone you'd seen
18
she's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
19
[Chorus]
20
Little shiver shaking me every day
21
But I could get the same thing anywhere
22
So if she goes away
23
Well, it's all right and I'm OK
24
"Hey" she said, "Come back again tonight"
25
And I said "I might, I might, I might"
26
She said "well that's all right"
27
If it's alright with you
28
It's alright with me
29
I waited for an hour last Friday night
30
She never came around
31
She took almost everything from me
32
I'm going through my closet,
33
trying on her clothes almost every day
34
I could've been anyone you see
35
I wish it was anyone but me
36
There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
37
[Chorus]
38
If I made you cry, please tell me why
39
Cause I'll try again if you let me try
40
American girls all feathers & cream
41
Coming into bed so edible
42
[Repeat: x2]
43
American girls oh
44
American girls
45
American girls
46
Oh, oh, oh, oh
47
You make me cry,
48
you make me cry,
49
you make me cry
50
Yeah, ya made me cry
51
You make me cry
52
Hey, miss American girl
53
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
