Lyrics
Words & Music by
Harriet Schock
AMERICAN ROMANCE
SHE DOESN'T HANG ON HIS EVERY WORD
AND TERMS OF ENDEARMENT ARE SELDOM HEARD
SHE GOES HER WAY
HE GOES HIS WAY
EVERYONE LAUGHS AT THEM DOING IT THIS WAY
HE DOESN'T HANG HER MOON
AND NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN, THEY HUM A DIFFERENT TUNE
HE SINGS IN MINOR
SHE LIKES IT MAJOR
SHE FOLLOWS DREAMS WHEREVER THEY TAKE HER
OH, BUT SHE LOVES HIM
HE IS THE LIGHT INSIDE HER EYES
OH, HOW SHE LOVES HIM
HE'S ALWAYS A SWEET SURPRISE
AND SHE'S WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
FOR THIS AMERICAN ROMANCE.
HE NEVER WANTED TO TRIP AND FALL
IN FACT, HE NEVER WANTED ANYONE AT ALL
NOT TILL HE SAW HER
NOT TILL HE KNEW HER
NOT TILL HE NOTICED HIS SOUL RUNNING TO HER
HE DOESN'T BUY HER THINGS
HE KNOWS THAT IT'S NOT UP TO HIM TO FIND HER WINGS
HE DOESN'T OWN HER
SHE DOESN'T OWN HIM
HE'S STILL A MYSTERY
AS LONG AS SHE'S KNOW HIM
OH, BUT HE LOVES HER
SHE IS THE FIRE INSIDE HIS HEART
OH, HOW HE LOVES HER
TOGETHER OR APART
AND HE'S HAPPY TO DO THE DANCE
OF THEIR AMERICAN ROMANCE.
OH HOW SHE LOVES HIM
HE IS THE LIGHT INSIDE HER EYES
OH, HOW HE LOVES HER
SHE'S ALWAYS A WILD SURPRISE
AND THEY'RE DYIN' TO DO THE DANCE
OF THEIR AMERICAN ROMANCE.
