The Goo Goo Dolls - American Girl lyrics
[The Goo Goo Dolls - American Girl lyrics]
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking there was
A little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she's gonna die tryin', she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
(make it last all night)
She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like
Waves crashing on the beach
For one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when
Something that's so close
Can feel so far out of reach
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking there was
A little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she's gonna die tryin', she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
(make it last all night)
She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like
Waves crashing on the beach
For one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when
Something that's so close
Can feel so far out of reach
