Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said, "Hey, sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
Don't like his baggy jeans, but I'ma like what's underneath them
And no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake
First, let's see the west end, I'll show you to my bredrin
I'm likin' this American boy
[Verse 2]
American boy

[Verse 3]
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shoppin', baby, then we'll go to a café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those shell toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
Likin' this American boy, American boy
[Verse 4]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, you'll be my American boy
You'll be my Am-, you'll be my Am-, you'll be my Am-
You'll be my Am-, you'll be my Am-, you'll be my Am-
You'll be my Am-, you'll be my Am-, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be
You'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll b-, you'll b-
You'll b-, you'll b-, you'll b-, you'll b-, you'll b-, you'll b-
[Verse 5]
