American Boy lyrics

Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1]
Fly in for the weekend
Come on, superstar, dive in the deep end
Let me show you California when it's cold
I know you [when you?] used to
So much sugar cooked into your Thai food
You could tell me how your mom makes it at home

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll, I'll

[Chorus]
I'll be your American boy
Blue jeans and a faded T-shirt, baby
Pick me up and down like a toy
[When we like to?] cross when you need some saving
Put my socks upon my [hand/head?]
And tell you that your accent makes you sound intelligent
Oh, I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy

[Post-Chorus]
American b-boy, b-boy, ooh-ooh
American b-boy, b-boy, b-b-boy
[Verse 2]
One day, when you're leaving
I'll take you to LAX and beg you to extend
Your vacation for just one or two more days
Girl, I know that you'll be back
'Cause, when you say, "Goodbye", you say it with a little laugh
But you're gonna miss your American boy and his American ways

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'll

[Chorus]
I'll be your American boy
Blue jeans and a faded T-shirt, baby
Pick me up and down like a toy
[When we like to?] cross when you need some saving
I'll put my socks upon my [hand/head?]
And tell you that your accent makes you sound intelligent
Oh, I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy
I'll be your American boy

[Post-Chorus]
American b-boy, b-boy, ooh-ooh
American b-boy, b-boy, b-b-boy
American boy, b-boy, ooh, b-boy
American b-boy, ba-da-da-da, da-da, da
[Outro]
I'll be your American boy
Blue jeans and a faded T-shirt, baby
Made right up in North Illinois
Right across the pond when it's what you're craving
