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 faceno more
I got more important things to do than spend my time growin' oldwith you
Now woman, 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 want to see yourshadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, 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 nomore
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, 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
Think I gotta go, I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman, I'm gonna leave you woman
I'm gonna leave you woman, I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye, bye. bye, bye
Bye, bye... bye, bye
(American woman) And you're no good for me and I'm no good foryou
(American woman) Looking at you, right in the eye, tell you whatI'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman, you know I gotta go
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman, I gotta go
(American woman) I... gotta go
I gotta go, American woman, Yeah
