(Bachman-c__mings-Kale-Peterson)

Hmm-umm, daten-da-dah,

Mmm, American woman gonna mess your mind.
Mmm, American woman gonna mess your mind.
Unh! American woman gonna mess your mind.

Unh!
American woman, stay away from me.
American woman, mama, let me be.
Don't come 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.

[ Short instrumental break. ]

American woman, get away from me.
American woman, mama, let me be.
Don't come 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, hey.

[ Instrumental break. ]

American woman, said get away.
American woman, listen what I say.
Don't come 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-hy.
Bye-bye-hy.
Bye-bye-hy.
Bye-bye-hy.
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.
[ Fades. ]
You know I'm gonna go, woman.
I'm gonna leave, woman.
Goodbye, American woman.
Goodbye, American chick.
Goodbye, American broad...
