Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take me on a trip, I'd love to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy
[Verse 2]
She said, "Hey, mister, really really nice to meet ya"
I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
Don't like his baggy jeans, but I might like what's underneath them
And, no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali' never rains and New York's wide awake
First let's see the West End
I'll show you to my best friend
Likin' this American boy, American boy
[Verse 3]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 4]
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 5]
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping, maybe then we'll go to a café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those shell-toes
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
Likin' this American boy, American boy
[Verse 6]
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 7]
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 8]
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love?
[Verse 9]
Would you be my love, my love? (Could you be mine?)
Would you be my love, my love? (Yeah, could you be mine?)
Would you be my love, my love? (Ooh-ooh-ayy)
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 10]
Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (Go some day)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (See LA)
I really want to come kick it with you (Kick it with you)
You'll be my American boy, American boy
[Verse 11]
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
La la la, la la, dey-dey
You'll be my American boy, American boy
