Counting Crows - American Girls Lyrics
She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line
I could have been anyone she'd seen
She waits another week to fall apart
She couldn't make another day
I could have been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hands
Making me feel so incredible
She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
I could have been anyone you see
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
Little shiver shaking me everyday
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
And I said, I might, I might, I might
She said, well that's alright
If it's alright, it's alright with you
If it's alright, if 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 everyday
I could have been anyone you see
I wish it was anyone but me
Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
If I make you cry, you tell me why
I'll try again, if you'll let me try
American girls are feathers and cream
Coming to bed so edible
American girls, oh
American girls
American girls
Oh, oh, oh, oh
American girls, oh
American girls
American girls
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
Yeah, you made me cry
You made me cry
Hey, Miss American Girl
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

Counting Crows American Girls Comments
0:37 not a fan but this is the hottest midriff ever better than today's trends
i wish the chorus for this song was better because the verses are cool.
All of this time I had no idea Sheryl Crow was singing background in this track. It just makes me love it even more. That is total irony though that Sheryl Crow sung with the Counting Crows. 😄😄😄😄😄
This is crazy good
Yuppy 🎶 at it's best
They really look sexy with those hats
A 👍 song sung by an underrated band
worst hair ever.
Fuck this world who gives only 2 million views to this song 😡
Hear this song at work everyday and it makes me want to fucken kill myself.
For such an unkempt looking bunch, this band always had super hot women around
Those lovely toes at :48 tho... Mmmm.
Make American Girls Again
Song corny af
Amo 😍relembra essas musicas😍💕💞💓
This guy's got the worst hairstyle since the weekend not that a change in hairstyle would help a face like that
Why would an American group sing a song about American girls and you guys better get a better looking front man I can't believe you put that guy on lead vocal
It's ok man I have mental issues too.
Who gives a crap about how he looks his voice is amazing
She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line

She had something breakable just under her skin
American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hands
Making me feel so incredible
She comes out of closets every night
But 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 are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
Little shiver shaking me everyday
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
And I said, I might, I might, I might
She said, well that's alright

You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry
Yeah, you made me cry
You made me cry
Hey, Miss American Girl
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
This is us, Lír. I think of you now, and often...
("Nothing but pills and ashes...")
I will never forgive myself for making you cry...
The dark-haired girl is gorgeous!

"I can do the same thing anywhere!" Adam from.Counting Crows
thanks for the inspiration and advice
my life would not be anywhere as good without your music...
me internei nessa musica
He needs to get himself back in shape, back to his "Hard Candy" physique... It effects his performance level, being heavier...
tv união haha
Who produced this video? They nailed it.
I work at Kohl's and heard this on the Kohl's in-store 'radio' and was like, is that Counting Crows I'm hearing? Kohl's is finally playing something I like.
I work at a Publix and I have heard this song about 3 to 5 times a week for three years. I cannot stand this song
My son listened to this and said it sounds like an old song. How is that possible?!!! The Beatles sounded old to me.
Nostalgic!!! ♥️♥️
i love the guitars and overall vibe of this song... the lyrics are interesting too!
Whole section of this brilliant song missing here.. . . ."American girls are feathers and cream, comin' to bed so edible". Why the song-ruining hack job on a piece of great imagery??
Seconded. This is one of my favorite songs by them, and I can't believe the edit!
Mojo Damm Thanks, Mo. Very disappointing Duritz would allow arguably the best song he ever wrote to be gutted like this, presumably for radio play, although I've never once heard it played on the radio. This guy ranks with the best American singer/songwriters in the last 50 years so, in a way, shame on him.
Waited for an hour
this song is exactly why these bros didn't make it out of 90"s
hey, is he the guy that sang the music for shrek
nicolochan leo yeah the couting crows did accidently in love in Shrek 2
well he does look like Shrek, so maybe....apologies for his face, and his voice too.
i like his jeans
Cool tune!
My fav forever
Terrible song, will these guys ever recapture the melancholy and angst of their first album...?
August was definitely their best album, but I like most of their songs so..
Don't wear it out :)
HAHAHA. have you actually listened to any of their albums? melancholy everywhere. try "possibility days"
Such a cutesy song.. American girls are weather and noise.. making me feel so incredible.. :P
Actually, it’s a pretty mean song. “I could’ve been anyone”, “I can get the same thing anywhere”... I like the “playing the changes” line. It’s all too miserably true.
greatest song ever!
Main singer always reminded me of pauly shore with the look he was going with here lol..but damn I love CCs!
I love the bit at 1:09
Counting (Sheryl) Crows
in terms of hair, The Weeknd just copied your unkept hair style
Counting Crows you have been my favourite band for 10 years now and I absolutely love you!!! xoxo from Slovenia
Hidden track on Hard Candy... Paved Paradise w/ out Michelle Branch
"Big Yellow Taxi," without Vanessa Carlton
That's the most talented pineapple I have ever seen
Lol, for sure😍
SideMerks
sovereignty
except pineapples actually have more talent than the weirdo in the video.
and are less whiny too. Can't stand the whine in his voice. He's so gross
@Maui Mig well why did you come here then 7 months ago?
Sheryl was In the background and they kept counting her :) lol
+erik koski Do reckon Adam has been there, everyone else has.
I have these song lyrics tattooed on my body
+LPashley Awesome! What line?
I heard this at a sports bar in Canada..
It's a brilliant tune. I love it!
Love the harmony at 2:58 so much.
+countingcrows123 When her voice cracks ....that is a killer. ; ) I could listen to that over and over
Joe, I feel like we should have known each other in a past life. Freshman year in college, discovering "If it Makes You Happy," and her voice cracking at the first chorus. Hell, there's nothing wrong in the world during that brief movement.
FUN FACT. THATS THE GNARLIEST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER LUDWIG DRUM KIT EVER.
+Steve Hirst How is it the most sought after Ludwig kit I have Ludwig vistalites 2002 yr model with all zildjian a custom cymbals I can see a beatles set or bonhams or even cream's set going like that lol just wondering
I was just speaking purely of Ludwig drums not regarding any player. Amongst collectors the Ludwig psychedelic 60's drums are holy grail status.
I've got two still in original packaging
I wish that they played this a lot more when they're on tour.
I can't believe that there is only 1.2m views. This is a awesome song.....
Viva le ragazze americane...che la danno anche molto più facilmente!
Until now, I never noticed how much Adam Duritz looks like Corey from Trailer Park Boys.
+GenkiGenki Panic wow... I can't unsee that.
+GenkiGenki Panic OMG. Lol.
I'm not American boy but after listening this song i can say that i'm in love with American girls :3
wow, this song is so much in my past, but for some reason i got in my head the other day and i had to find it again.
"There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin"
American girls are the best
68 stupid people
EXCELENTE GRUPO ,,, TAL VEZ NO TENGA EL RECONOCIMIENTO QUE MERECE
Seeing'em in Leeds UK tonite !!!!!! Hell Yeah !!!!!!!!!
His voice is crazy good.
Is that Penelope Cruise?
No, it's not otherwise this song would be called Spanish Girls... Duh!
Guess Sheryl Crow was just too cool to be in the video.
OMG...Kirsten Dunst at.47????
unfortunately, no
I like the song... It's really catchy eventhough it's not Counting Crows' best song. Seriously... What's the girl's name on the video? The one at the beginning and end of it? It's really beautiful !!!
I;m really bored!
theres nuthin but pills n ashes under my skin
this could be any one of us american males...wow..smh..
love this song <3
world's most talented pineapple
cool song
Counting Crows - American Girls #music #musiceveryday #musiceverywhere
What girl is singing?
Sheryl Crow.
Los 90's .... Años de preparatoria ... Buenísimo grupo ..... Buena rola y bellas mujeres : )
Love this song, love this band, love his voice, which brings me to the girl in the video. Yep, you guessed right: I LOVE HER! Sooooooooo attractive... Counting Crows, along with Offspring, my fave 90's bands. Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day, too.
I tried very hard to find out her name with no luck~ Great song/vid
I think I hear Sheryl Crow!! Yes??
I thought its Vanessa Carlton :)
No, Vanessa was on Big Yellow Taxi.
You mean Vanessa RUINED big yellow taxi
Heard that she came in to the studio, recorded her lines and was done in 30 minutes. Awesome song, though! :)
Christopher Cole z
min. 2:20 (Pfff... es la Piña con mas talento que he visto)
Sideshow Bob?!? hehe...
amooooooooo
cool song
its Sideshow Bob
these guys deserve a lot more views
This song brings me back to my childhood.. Tonight i danced to this song with my 2 year old daughter and i felt like a little girl dancing in my room with my sister like before. So many fond memories held in this one song, counting crows were my childhood! Feeling very nostalgic :)
Tony Stark got dreads
POLSKA KOCHA Counting Crows!
Also look at his hair!! It's amazing!! :D
1:41 dat ass!
Is it really Sheryl
you'd be surprised... this type of video appeals mostly to girls.
So very true. And there's one deep in thought @ 01:41 ...
he wrote this song coz he used to really love european girls, now his opinion about them has changed. i don't blame him.
Man... I was in junior high school when this song came out and it's been 10+ years ago . Yet, the song is timeless and love Sheryl Crow's on the background.
I luv this
i wonder if spongebob lives in it?
