American woman, stay away from me 
American woman, mama let me be  [bad word] hanging around my door 
I don't want to 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  [bad word] knocking around my door 
I don't want to 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  [bad word] hanging around 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 getta 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..... 
And you're no good for me 
And I'm no good for you 
I look you right straight in the eye 
And tell you what I'm gonna do 
I'm gonna leave you woman 
You know I gotta go 
I'm gonna leave you woman 
I gotta go 
I gotta go 

I gotta go 
American woman 
Yeah
