[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break 02:51-03:42]
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
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
Goodbye, American chick
