Springfield, Rick - The American Girl Lyrics
You can see her walking down on a city street,
The American Girl
She's got the passion in her eyes
She's got the blush on her cheeks,
The American Girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see
The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
Love is full of intrigue
And full of Bogart mystique, The American Girl
She's got the promise in the night
The romance in the back seat, The American Girl
I love to watch her move, her body sways
She whispers then she laughs
Did you hear what she says
I wanna know if she's talking 'bout me
Doing things her daddy can't see
The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me
And she stares at herself
In the harsh white light
And she draws in her cheeks
Just like the model
So unsure of herself in the big wide world
The American Girl
The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
She's such a mystery to me
The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts
But that's not enough
The American Girl, out in the dark
She's looking for love, oh oh
The American Girl, she breaks hearts

Would you get with him
What a wonderful yet simple guitar riff.. But the memory of Betsy Russell doing jumping jacks in Private school.. Forget it, hands down a great memory.
I remember sneaking out of my room late at night to watch Private School on HBO, lol.. Betsy Russell's jumping jacks are only eclipsed by the topless horseback riding.

I really feel sorry for kids today when I think of how iconic the 80s stars were. The lyrics and the stories were so close to the teen angst we felt. Now it's all drum machine and harmonizers.
I love Rick Springfield he was good and he is still good one of the eighty's ninety's and today
Love Phoebe Cates, and IIRC Private School was her big follow up to Fast Times, but I just can't hear this song without picturing Betsy Russel riding bareback (and bare top) on that horse on parents visiting day or whatever it was. Dear lord what bounce!
Both those ladies still look pretty damn good too last I checked.
Venus in Overdrive is his best album.
0:42 American girl!
My teacher played this song and I loved it. Great vibe!
AzureONboard My 4th grade hippie teacher exposed our class to Dan Fogelberg. His music changed my life. RIP.
Love this song and album. I was 9 years old and told my mom to go buy it for me. I used to watch Rick on GH. The summer I got this album I would wake up from bed and put it on immediately. Good times.
Great song, great albumb great time in my life. The 80's were the best! So many years have passed!
Love this song!!
Great song. Makes a great WWE Smackdown vs Raw diva song intro.
Private School ('83) Classic film...i'll never forget Phoebe Cates working out to this song!
me too :)
he was my first concert....I was 13. I will never forget it.
I really feel sorry for kids today when I think of how iconic the 80s stars were. The lyrics and the stories were so close to the teen angst we felt. Now it's all drum machine and harmonizers.
Love It!
classic 80s
Love the song great band
This song makes me want to do jumping jacks.
this reminds me of the movie Private School with Phoebe Cates. i love this song!!
that scene in private school is hot!
The American girl she breaks farts.
That's just rude.
7beers 😂
When I was in High School, me and my buddies would've been assassinating each other over either one of those girls! :D
Yes, indeed.
I found many great songs on b sides
There are 2 types of people. Those who only follow the crowd and listens to a-side only.
And those who dont follow and finds treasures when they look elsewhere :D
@gamblerpete
Yeah. Just like John Fogerty, Rick Springfield is guilty of plagerizing himself.
But, it's still a great song from a great movie. :-D
memories
@bodizone1
Yes, betsy russell was male teenagers dream gal along with Phoebe Cates.
I remember this song from private school. Private school is one of my favs from the 1980s, because of betsy russell and phoebe cates. I was teenager in the 1980s and it was quite the decade for music/video. Every decades a little different but music video define the 1980s along with soundtracks!!
I remember this song from my favorite 80's comedy Private School, Which was awesome!
It's another version of Jessie's girl
Private School ftw. Phoebe Cates is a goddess.
Phoebe Cates was smokin' hott in private school.
@yrpse This song was never in "Hardbodies".
@bodizone1 OMG...that movie was on the other day...oh childhood..
i remember this song from private school. it was great being a teenager in the early 1980s.
This dude had a lot of cool songs back when it was cool during the 80"s.
this is so great i love it. its always been one of my favorites. love rick anyways.
I love this film & this music. :)
@15scottie Hey, you stay away from her! She is mine!!!! XD Phoebe Cates is just the best!
private school lol
Phoebe Cates is my favorite of all time!!! :)
This song brings back good memories...
indeed! :)
Close it was April 24, 1981 I had the cassette as a kid
Yeah ,i seen the video on here but it was only a minute and 45 seconds long !! I will always love phoebe cates,something about that chick !!!!!!!
Pheobe Cates Betsy Russell and Brooke Shields What I wouldnt have given to have been with one of them
What usually sucks about that is when you see your favorite group or singer in concert,they usually never play it??????
Bow wow wow!!!!
I love cranking thing song in my convertible on a sunny friday afternoon!!!
Private School!
I remember this song fondly. I was always a "B-Side" bandit.
Thanks again
Pink!
