Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ala' boy
[Verse 2]
American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
[Verse 3]
Don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see you no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time goin' round you
Now woman
Stay away from me, yeah
[Verse 4]
American woman
Listen what I say (Woo!)
Yeah-yeah, American woman
Won't ya get away
[Verse 5]
American woman
Hear me, what I say
Don't come knockin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
[Verse 6]
Colored light can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now, woman
Would you get away?
Ah, American woman
Hear me, what I say
[Verse 7]
American woman (Hey, American woman)
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, what you see?
[Verse 8]
Hey, don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need no war machine
I don't need no ghetto scene
[Verse 9]
Colored lights, hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Yeah, woman
Get away (Get away)
[Verse 10]
American woman (Oh, yeah)
Listen what I say (What I say)
Yeah, American woman
Stay away from me
[Verse 11]
American woman (American woman)
Yeah, let me be (Let me be)
Ya, got to, got to, got to get away
[Verse 12]
Well, American woman (American woman)
Let me be, baby (Let me be)
Yeah, American woman (Oh, American woman)
Yeah, set me free, baby (Oh, set me free)
Yeah, American woman (American woman)
American woman (American woman)
Yeah, American woman (American woman)
American woman (American woman)
[Verse 13]
Yeah, bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Give 'em bye, bye (Bye-bye, bye-bye)
[Verse 14]
American woman (Yeah), let me be
American woman (American woman)
Yeah-yeah
