American Girls Lyrics - Films About Ghosts - Counting Crows

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
