Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh, oh
She's keeping me out
If she's committed to finish
I'll keep her around
'Cause every time I see her face
I come alive feel like I'm wide awake
And every time I see her move
I come alive, she's got me falling through
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Twisted American girl
Oh oh, ah oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Twisted American girl
She's political cynical
She's not easy to please
She's not perfect, but she's worth it
My American dream
I want to be different
I want to be bold
I keep on hearing horror stories
Of the miserable souls
'Cause every time I see her face
I come alive feel like I'm wide awake
And every time I see her move
I come alive, she's got me falling through
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Twisted American girl
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh
Twisted American girl
Twisted, twisted, American girl
Twisted, twisted American girl
Twisted, twisted, American girl
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Twisted American girl
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Twisted American girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Twisted American Girl
'Cause every time I see her face
I come alive feel like I'm wide awake
And every time I see her move
I come alive, she's got me falling through
Oh oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh oh, oh, oh
