American Love

in the dark of the night when you leave me alone
with my teeth with this fright creeping down to my bones
when you go, oooohhhh, when you go.
feeling an empty shell feeling out my soul
on the edge of the world
when you go, oooohhhh, when you go.
and i know that where you go
i will be cast away
and i pray in my sorrow
won’t you come back and stay?
american love
american love
when you go
when you go
i will try to be strong
when you make up your mind
i will love to be round
but i will never be blind
and you’ll go, go
and you’ll go, go
and i know that where you go
i will be cast away
and i feel the bitter tears
you’ll make me cry some day
only you give me the clue
to live on one more day
i love you
and i wish i knew
the way to make you stay
american love
