[Verse 3]
American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind
[Verse 4]
American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
Don't come a-hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Then spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman
I said stay away
American woman
Listen what I say
[Verse 5]
American woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
Don't come a-knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman
I said get away
American woman
Listen what I say, hey
[Verse 6]
American woman
Said get away
American woman
Listen what I say
Don't come a-hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
[Verse 7]
Go
Gotta get away, gotta get away, now go, go, go
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
[Verse 8]
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go, woman
I'm gonna leave, woman
Goodbye, American woman
Goodbye, American chick
