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, I said 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 wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, I said get way
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, I said 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
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

And you're no good for me and I'm no good foryou
Looking at you, right in the eye, tell you whatI'm gonna do
I'm gonna leave you woman, you know I gotta go
I'm gonna leave you woman, I gotta go
(American woman) I... gotta go

I gotta go, American woman, Yeah
