American woman
stay away from me-e
American woman
mama let me be-e
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-ay
American woman

I sa........y
American woman
get away from me-e
American woman
mama let me be-e
Don't come a-knockin'
around my door
don't wanna see
your shadow no more
Coloured lights
can hypnotise
sparkle someone
else's eyes
now woman
I said get away-ay
American woman

American woman
I said get away-ay
American woman

what I say-ay
Don't come a-hangin'
around my door
don't wanna see
your face no more
I don't need no
war machines
I don't need your
ghetto scenes
Coloured lights
can hypnotise
sparkle someone
else's eyes
now woman
Get away from me-e
American woman
mama let me be-e
No, gotta get away

go, go, go
I'm gonna leave

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

I'm gonna do
You know
I'm gonna leave
You know
I'm gonna go
You know
I'm gonna leave
You know
I'm gonna go oooh
I'm gonna leave
you woman
goodbye
American woman
