Rick Springfield - The American Girl Lyrics






You can see her walking down on a city street,
The American Girl
She's got the passion in her eyes
She's got the blush on her cheeks,
The American Girl

I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see

The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

Love is full of intrigue
And full of Bogart mystique, The American Girl
She's got the promise in the night
The romance in the back seat, The American Girl

I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see

The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

And she stares at herself
In the harsh white light
And she draws in her cheeks
Just like the model
So unsure of herself in the big wide world
The American Girl

The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me

The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough

The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts

    What a wonderful yet simple guitar riff.. But the memory of Betsy Russell doing jumping jacks in Private school.. Forget it, hands down a great memory.

    8.... L....

    I remember sneaking out of my room late at night to watch Private School on HBO, lol.. Betsy Russell's jumping jacks are only eclipsed by the topless horseback riding.

    I really feel sorry for kids today when I think of how iconic the 80s stars were. The lyrics and the stories were so close to the teen angst we felt. Now it's all drum machine and harmonizers.

  9. H.... J....

    I love Rick Springfield he was good and he is still good one of the eighty's ninety's and today

  10. s.... g....

    Love Phoebe Cates, and IIRC Private School was her big follow up to Fast Times, but I just can't hear this song without picturing Betsy Russel riding bareback (and bare top) on that horse on parents visiting day or whatever it was. Dear lord what bounce!
    Both those ladies still look pretty damn good too last I checked.

  11. C.... P....

    Venus in Overdrive is his best album.

  12. J.... P....

  14. M.... ....

    Love this song and album. I was 9 years old and told my mom to go buy it for me. I used to watch Rick on GH. The summer I got this album I would wake up from bed and put it on immediately. Good times.

  29. w.... w....

    I found many great songs on b sides

    There are 2 types of people. Those who only follow the crowd and listens to a-side only.
    And those who dont follow and finds treasures when they look elsewhere :D

  30. P.... ....

    @gamblerpete
    Yeah. Just like John Fogerty, Rick Springfield is guilty of plagerizing himself.

    But, it's still a great song from a great movie. :-D

  31. p.... ....

    memories

  32. p.... y....

    @bodizone1

    Yes, betsy russell was male teenagers dream gal along with Phoebe Cates.

  33. p.... y....

    I remember this song from private school. Private school is one of my favs from the 1980s, because of betsy russell and phoebe cates. I was teenager in the 1980s and it was quite the decade for music/video. Every decades a little different but music video define the 1980s along with soundtracks!!
