Mitski - Your Best American Girl lyrics
[Mitski - Your Best American Girl lyrics]
If I could, I'd be your little spoon
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear it's song
From the morning birds
Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be
Singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to
Be your best American girl
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to
Be the best American girl
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear it's song
From the morning birds
Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be
Singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to
Be your best American girl
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to
Be the best American girl
Your mother wouldn't approve of how
My mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
