American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Don't come 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 growing old with you

Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Don't come 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, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Don't come 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, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

I got to go, I got to get away
Baby, I got to go, I want to fly away
I'm going to leave you, woman
I'm going to leave you, woman
I'm going to leave you, woman
I'm going to leave you, woman
A-bye-bye, a-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 and tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm going to leave you woman, you know I got to go
(American woman) I'm going to leave you woman, I got to go
(American woman) I got to go
I got to go, American woman, yeah
