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-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay



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-ay-ay-ay



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



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-o, woman 

I 'm gonna leave you woman 

Goodbye American Woman 

Goodbye American chick
