Текст песни
I'm lying safe asleep in bed
My eyes are closed just like I'm dead
My friends all think that I'm a bore
But I don't need them anymore
I don't get up, I don't get out
I have no life to speak about
It feels so good to leave the blame with you
That's what I do
I'm going down, come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
I'm a living mess without
Your sweet American love
I go blind, lose my mind
Work the streets from time to time
What you give will come around
Sweet American love
My telephone is off the hook
My eyes are closed, I'm scared to look
I hope you're happy now you're free
But what about poor little me?
I draw your picture on the wall
My phone is dead if you call
My mama asked, I told her I'd get by
That's a lie
I'm going down, come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
I'm a living mess without
Your sweet American love
I go blind, lose my mind
Work the streets from time to time
What you give will come around
Sweet American love
I've kept the things you gave to me
I cry so much that I can't see
And the cheerful radio boasts that love is in the air
But it's so full of shit, so nearsighted
What did you have to leave me for?
Was it my hair? Was I such a bore?
Oh, girlfriend, you were always my only choice
I'm going down, come around
Watch me when I hit the ground
I'm a living mess without
Your American love, American love
I go blind, lose my mind
Work the streets from time to time
What you give will come around
Oh, damn you
Oh yeah
Sha-la-la-la-da-da-la-la-la (Sweet American love)
Sha-la-la-la-da-la-la-la-hoo-hoo
Sha-la-la-la-da-da-la-la-la
Oh, yeah
