American Mary Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give my jewelry to the army
My silverware and jeans
Give my love to your family
Tell them anything

[Verse 2]
Give yourself to anyone
Give yourself away
Don't be a nightingale
For anyone's space to fill

[Verse 3]
If I could, I'd be your star again
Fall across your falling sky

[Verse 4]
It takes a lot of little rain
To make you feel like nothing
Anything, anything you care to do
Do to me for everything I did for you
Nothing

[Verse 5]
I didn't try to take your love away
I just never knew I had it

[Chorus]
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me want you
American
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me leave you
American

[Post-Chorus]
American Mary

[Verse 6]
If you kiss me, kiss me with your silver eyes
Don't look at me like someone you don't recognize
I didn't try to do this
Your arms around my shoulder blades
Are useless

[Chorus]
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me want you
American
There is nothing you can say
To ever make me leave you
American

[Outro]
