Lyrics for singles by Violent Femmes

American Music

One two three four!

Do you like American music?
I like American music
Don't you like American music, baby?

I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me
I want you to hold me, baby

Did you do too many drugs?
I did too many drugs
Did you do too many drugs, too, baby?

You were born too late, I was born too soon
But every time I look at that ugly moon
It reminds me of you
It reminds me of you
ooh-ooh-ooh

I need a date to the prom
Would you like to come along?
But nobody would go to the prom with me, baby

They didn't like American music
They never heard American music
They didn't know the music was in my soul, baby

You were born too soon
I was born too late
But every time I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me
It reminds me of me

Do you like American music?
We like American music
I like American music... Baby

Do you like American music?
We like all kinds of music
But I like American music best... baby

You were born too late
I was born too late
But every time I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me
It reminds me of me
It reminds me of me
