Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And, ooh la la, my American boy
(Singing, singing, singing)
And I met him back when I was out in California, hey
He was playing in a band and she was dancing on a stage
And he says that I'm the one but she's the one that got away
And he never knew her real name
Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up
And insecure 'bout all the things you say (say, say, say, say)
Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous
It's just careless me
Boy, I must drive you mad
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And, ooh la la, my American boy
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And, ooh la la, my American boy
My American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy (hey!)
So I wanna know who's on your phone
Making me paranoid, making me bad
Making me sad, making me crazy
And making me feel like I needed to ask
I wanna know if you're at home
And if you're at home, baby, are you alone?
Are you alone? Answer your phone!
Oh, baby, oh, no, no
And I don't mean to get so caught up
And insecure 'bout all the things you say (say, say, say, say)
Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous
It's just careless me
Boy, I must drive you mad
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (he breaks my heart)
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And, ooh la la, my American boy (ooh la, la, la, la, la)
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (yeah)
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And, ooh la la, my American boy
(Singing, singing, singing)
My American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
Singing ooh la la, ooh la la
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
He do (now you're making me)
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy (ooh, la, la, la, la, la)
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (yeah)
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy (boy, boy, oh)
My American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy (boy)
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
