The American Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Them legs, oh yeah they're looking so good
(oh they're looking so damn good)
And as she walks along she's turning heads
Make them boys think they should.
And them thighs, oh yeah they're moving so slow.
And as the record spins, you sing along
I'm about to lose control.
And she pleads, "It's the american way."
I play along, yeah
'Cause that's just how she's always been.
And I know that you already know
(that you already know)
Moving so fast
That you're bound to lose control
Alright
Them damn hips,
You know you shake it so well
I'm gonna shake (shake, shake) it up.
You've got me under your spell
And she pleads, "It's the american way."
I play along, yeah
'Cause that's just how she's always been.
And I know that you already know
(that you already know)
Moving so fast,
That you're bound to lose control
It's no secret
she just likes the way it feels
She's not impressed (not impressed) with anything you have to give
You're a habit I've been trying to kick aside
As the bottle breaks
You've been blowing smoke that's filling up my lungs
You're a habit I've been trying to kick aside
As the bottle breaks
you've been blowing smoke that's filling up my lungs
You've got it going on
I know that you already know
(that you already know)
Moving so fast, that you're bound to lose control
It's no secret
She just likes the way it feels
(likes the way it feels)
She's not impressed (not impressed) with anything you have to give.
