American Boy

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

He said: Hey mister, really, really nice to meet ya
I just met this five foot seven 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
Liking this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (oh)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you (kick it with you, oh)
You'll be my American boy

La, la-la, la-la, da-da
La, la-la, la-la, da-da
La, la-la, la-la, da-da
You'll be my American boy

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
I never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
Dressed in all your fancy clothes
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm loving those Shell Toes
Walking that walk, talk that slick talk
Liking this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (oh)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you (kick it with you, oh)
You'll be my American boy

La, la-la, la-la, da-da
La, la-la, la-la, da-da
La, la-la, la-la, da-da
You'll be my American boy

Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love?
Would you be my love, my love? (Oh, oh)
Would you be my love, my love?
(Would you be my love, my love?)
Could you be mine? (Oh)
(Would you be my love, my love?)
Yeah, could you be mine?
(Would you be my love, my love?)
Ooh (Oh)
You'll be my American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (oh)
