American woman

Stay away from me

American woman

Mama, let me be

Don't come hangin' 'round my door

I don't wanna see your face no more

I got more important things to do

Than spend my time growin' old with 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 knockin' 'round my door

I don't wanna see your shadow 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 away

American woman

Listen what I say

Don't come hangin' 'round 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, 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 get away

Babe, 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) You're no good for me and I'm no good for you

(American woman) I look you right straight in the eye

I tell you what I'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
