Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow - American Girls lyrics

She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line
I could have been anyone she'd seen
She wait's 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
And 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 all weather & noise
Playing the changes for all the of the boys
Holding a candle up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible

Little shivers shaking me every day
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"
I said, "I might i might i might"
She said, "Well that's alright
If it's alright with you
Then 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 every day
I could have 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 & noise
Playing the changes for all the 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
Come into bed so edible
