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

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don't come a-knockin' around my door, 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, hey

American woman, said, "Get away"
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come a-hangin' around my door, 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, go, go, go
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 leave, you know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave, you know I'm gonna go, woman
I'm gonna leave ya, woman, goodbye, American woman
Goodbye, American chick
