American woman stay away from me

American woman mama let me be

Don't come a hangin' around 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 I said stay away

American woman listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

American woman get away from me

American woman mama let me be

Don't come a knockin' around my door

I don't wanna see your shadow no more

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman I said get away

American woman listen what I say-ay-ay-ay

American woman said get away

American woman listen what I say

Don't come a hangin' around my door

I don't wanna see your face no more

I don't need your war machines

I don't need your ghetto scenes

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman get away from me

American woman mama let me be

Go gotta get away gotta get away now no no no

I'm gonna leave you woman

Gonna leave you woman

Bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye

You're no good for me

I'm no good for you

Gonna look you right in the eye

Tell you what I'm gonna do

You know I'm gonna go

You know I'm gonna leave

You know I'm gonna go

You know I'm gonna leave woman

Goodbye American woman
