[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wait for me, I can't come
[Chorus]
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
(x3)
[Verse 2]
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
[Final chorus]
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
[Outro]
