American Woman by The Guess Who

American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, she gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind

Say A
Say M
Say E
Say R
Say I
Say C
Say A
N

American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind
American woman, gonna mess your mind

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

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
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, I said, "Get away"
American woman, listen what I say

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
Colored 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, woman
Goodbye, American woman
