CHANTEL lyrics

[Intro: Estelle]
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
You'll be my American boy
American boy

[Verse 1: Josh Man]
Before we begin, I need y'all to know
About this girl that I met at a show
She was about 5'4
Stunning all the way from her head to her toes
We locked eyes, and I swear that I froze
My brain went blank and my heart rate slowed
I said, "What's your name, you got me under a spell"
She looked at me, smiled, said her name was Chantel

[Verse 2: Josh Man + Queen Meg]
Chantel, you an image from my dreams
You a catch girl, I want you on my team
You blinging like 33, Kareem
Highlight glowing like an ultra light beam
I know, what I'm saying so crazy
You don't even know me, how could I be your baby?
But you looking prettier than African daisies
You ever been to Abruzzese?
Got us dancing dirty like Swayze
The way you talk to me got me feeling hazy
But I got the juice, and I gotta get you too
What it take to call you boo? This could be something new
For us, so hold on tight, get lost in the moment
You intelligent, you so outspoken
Yeah, I noticed, you got me zoning
[Chorus: Estelle]
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 3: Josh Man]
Where you going, night is young, you should stay a while
Just one more hour, I really love your smile
I would go with you from California to the Nile
From London town, Macau, to Mindanao
You worried 'bout the future, baby, what about the now?
Even if it take me 'til my last breath
I'ma use all the gifts I've been endowed with
Convince you to stay until the morning

[Bridge: Estelle]
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
La-da-da-la-da-dee-ah
You'll be my American boy
American boy

[Verse 5: Estelle + Josh Man]
Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway
Let's go shopping, baby, then we'll go to a café
Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood
(Take you to my hood)
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
(And you'd like to see what's good)
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
(All my fancy clothes)
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm loving those Shell Toes
(You loving my Shell Toes)
Walking that walk, talk that slick talk
(Talk that slick talk)
I'm liking this American boy, American boy
[Chorus: Estelle]
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
Tell 'em wah gwaan, blud

[Verse 6: Kanye West + Josh Man]
This a number one champion sound (sound)
Yeah, Estelle, we 'bout to get down (get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now? (right now)
Just touched down in London town (town)
Bet they give me a pound (pound)
Tell them put the money in my hand right now (right now)
Tell the promoter we need more seats (more seats)
We just sold out all the floor seats (floor seats)

[Verse 7: Josh Man]
We just sold out all of the floor seats
This infatuation, nobody warned me
I want to unlock her heart, but I need key
Chantel the only one that I see
We just sold out all of the floor seats
This infatuation, nobody warned me
Chantel the only one that I see
[Outro: Sample]
Have you seen that girl?
--girl? Have you seen that, have you seen that girl?
Have you seen that girl? Have you seen that girl?
Have you seen that girl? Have you seen that girl?
