She comes out on Fridays every time an' 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've been anyone you see

She had something breakable just under her skin American girls all weather and noise

Playin' the changes for all of the boys

Holdin' a candle up to my hand

Making it 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 nothin' but porcelain underneath her skin American girls are weather and noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holdin' 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 okay

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

Then it's alright, 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 goin' through my closets, tryin' on her clothes almost everyday I could've been anyone, you see

I wish it was anyone but me

There's nothin' but pills and ashes under my skin American girls are weather and noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holdin' a candle right up to my hand

Makin' me feel so incredible If I made you cry, please tell me why

I'll try again if you let me try

American girls are feathers and cream

Come 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 made me cry

You made me cry

You made me cry

Yea, you made me cry

You made me cry

Hey, Miss American girl

Oh, ohh

Ohh, yea
