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

Don't come hangin' round 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, stay away 
American woman, listen when I say 

American woman, get away from me 
American woman, mamma let me be 

Don't come knockin' on 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 when I say 

American woman, I said get away 
American woman, listen when I say 

Don't come hangin' round my door 
Don't wanna see your face no more 
I don't need your warm machines 
I don't need your ghetto scenes 
Colored lights can hypnotize 
Sparkle someone else's eyes 

Now woman, get away 
American woman, listen when I say 

American woman, stay away from me 
American woman, mamma 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 

Bye, bye 
Bye, bye 
Bye, bye 
Bye, bye 

American woman 
You're no good for me 
And I'm no good for you 
American woman 
I'm looking at you right in the eye 
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 
American woman 
I gotta go 
I gotta go 
American woman, yeah.
