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
