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 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, 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
