Lyrics
American Girls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They want to kiss like the movies
Like we're under the sky on the 4th of July
An honest kiss just won't suffice
They want one to remember for the rest of their lives
American girls know how to pretend
You can be Barbie and I can be Ken
They'll take you to L.A. and Neverland
And imprint your soul with their Hollywood hands
American girls get whatever they want
I'm never enough for their ravenous hearts
American girls they get whatever they want
Bullies broke my teenage jaw
And with the black eye, I took you to the prom
And in the back of an American car
In an American street
Under American stars
We told American lies that we both knew by heart
And with American smiles got our American scars
American girls get whatever they want
I'm never enough for their ravenous hearts
American girls they get whatever they want
I see them walk by
I watch as they smile
Dancing on their neighbors' lawns
Singing some popular song about some girls
American girls
American girls are my kind of girls
They're going to teach you how to pray and how to sell that lemonade
American girls
American girls they get whatever they want
