American woman, stay away from me

American woman, mama let me be

Don't come hanging around my door,

I don't want to see your face no more

I got more important things to do

Than spend my time growin' old with you

Now woman, I said stay away

American woman, listen what I say

American woman, get away from me

American woman, mama let me be

Don't come knocking around my door,

I 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

American woman, I said get way

American woman, listen what I say

Don't come hanging around my door,

Don't want to 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, I said get away

American woman, listen what I say

American woman, stay away from me

American woman, mama let me be

I gotta go, I gotta getta away

I'm gonna leave you woman (4x)

Bye, bye... bye, bye

Bye, bye... bye, bye

And you're no good for me

And I'm no good for you

Looking at you, right in the eye,

Tell you whatI'm gonna do

I'm gonna leave you woman,

You know I gotta go

I'm gonna leave you woman,

I gotta go American woman

I gotta go

I gotta go American woman.
