Your Best American Girl

If I could, I'd be your little spoon And kiss your fingers forevermore But, big spoon, you have so much to do And I have nothing ahead of me You're the sun, you've never seen the night But you hear its song from the morning birds Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star But awake at night, I'll be singing to the birds Don't wait for me, I can't come Your mother wouldn't approve Of how my mother raised me But I do, I think I do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be Your best American girl You're the one, you're all I ever wanted I think I'll regret this Your mother wouldn't approve Of how my mother raised me But I do, I finally do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be The best American girl Your mother wouldn't approve Of how my mother raised me But I do, I think I do
