Just another one champion sound (yeah)
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down (get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now? (Hey)
Just touched down in London town (huh)
Bet they give me a pound (uh)
Tell them put the money in my hand right now (yeah)
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats
Take me on a trip, I'd like to (go some day)
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)
He said
Hey Sister, it's really, really nice to meet you
I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peaking
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 heart awaits
First let's see the West End
I'll show you to my brethren
I'm liking this American boy (American boy)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to (go some day)
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, American Boy)
La la la la-ladida
La la la la-ladida
La la la la (la-dida)
Will you be my American boy, American boy?
Can we get away this weekend? (Take me to Broadway)
Let's go shopping, maybe then we'll go to a café
(Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood)
I've never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dress in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death
I'm loving those Shell Toes
Walking that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm liking this American boy (American boy)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to (go some day)
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)
Tell 'em wagwan blud
Would you be my love, my love? (Would you be mine?)
Would you be my love, my love? (Would you be mine?)
Could you be my love, my love? (Ooh)
Would you be my American boy? (American boy)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (oh, some day)
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay (oh, yeah)
I really want to come kick it with you (ooh)
(You'll be my American Boy) (be my American boy)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day (I'd like to go some day)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (See LA)
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
La la la la-ladida
La la la la-ladida
La la la la-ladida
(Will you be my) American boy, American boy?
