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

Don't come hanging 'round my door
I don't wanna 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, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Don't come knocking 'round my door
I don't wanna 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

Don't come hanging 'round my door
Don't wanna 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 get 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
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 gonna leave you, woman
You know I gotta go
(American woman) 
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I gotta go
(American woman)
I, I gotta go
I gotta go, American woman, yeah
