American Girls

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
