When I was young my dad would say
Come on son let's go out and play
No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can't say goodbye

[Guess Who version]
American woman gonna mess your mind
American woman, she gonna mess your mind
Um ... American woman gonna mess your mind
Um ... American woman gonna mess your mind
I say A, I say M, I say E, I say R, I say I, and C,I say A, N
Um...American woman gonna mess your mind
Um...American woman gonna mess your mind...Uhh
American woman gonna mess your mind
Uhh...
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..hey...hey...hey
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
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say...hey...hey...hey
American Woman, said get away
American Woman, listen what I say...hey
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
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
No, gotta get away
Gotta gotta get away ... now, no, no, no
I’m gonna leave you woman
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 at 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 I'm gonna go, woman
I’m gonna leave you woman
