American Boy

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy

(Singing, singing, singing)

And I met him back when I was out in California (Hey)

He was playing in a band and she was dancing on a stage

And he says that I'm the one but she's the one that got away

And he never knew her real name

Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up

And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)

Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me

Boy, I must drive you mad

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy

My American boy

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know, it's my American boy (Hey!)

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know, it's my American boy (Hey!)

So I wanna know who's on your phone

Making me paranoid, making me bad

Making me sad, making me crazy

Making me feel like I needed to ask

I wanna know if you're at home

And if you're at home, baby, are you alone?

Are you alone? Answer your phone

Oh, baby, no no no

Oh, I don't mean to get so caught up

And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)

Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me

Boy, I must drive you mad

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart (He breaks my heart)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy (Ooh, la, la, la, la)

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy (Singing, singing, singing)

My American boy

You know, it's my American boy

American, 'merican, 'merican boy (Oh)

You know, it's my American boy

Singing ooh la-la, ooh la-la

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart

He do, now you're making me

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar (No)

And ooh la-la, my American boy (Ooh la, la, la, la)

Singing, singing, singing

Ooh la-la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And ooh la-la, my American boy (Boy, boy)
