American Woman Lyrics
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come 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, stay away, American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
I don't wanna see your shadow no more
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say-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
American woman, listen what I say-ay
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
I gotta go, I gotta get away
Baby, I gotta go, I am dying
I'm gonna leave you woman(4) Bye-bye (4)
(American woman) You're no good for me
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'll look you right in the eye
And 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, I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American Woman
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come 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
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
I don't wanna see your shadow no more
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say-ay
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
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say-ay
American woman, mama let me be
I gotta go, I gotta get away
Baby, I gotta go, I am dying
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'll look you right in the eye
And 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, I'm gonna leave you woman
Goodbye American Woman

The Guess Who originally recorded the song.
i actually have never heard the original gotta go check it out now ,, but i admit i love this version especially with lenny singing it !mmm
As a cover song, I think he really butchers it. I don't remember who originally did it. Also, with the last verse and the last parts of the song - he could have recorded them better? It is all distorted like an amateur recording where the person has the recording volume up to high. Why, Lenny, why?
This song is a great one to wake up to if you're on the road. The end( where he says a couple lines) is incredibly funny, it's so lame, makes me crack up every time. I find it a decent song though besides that last part.
actually, it wasn't Guess Who; it was this group called Bachman, Randy & Cummings, Burton...
great song, i love it
actually, it was The Guess Who.. Randy Bachman is their guitarist and Burton Cummings the singer. They later covered it.
This song kicks!!!!! I think is perfect to amuse your man with a lap dance..... =P

Its a political song and its really good but it is not flattering to americans or american women. I think all people hear is the beat, american woman, and the bit about sparkling someones eyes and not paying attention to what he's saying.
"Go away.. I don't want to see your face" Now really?? Women are taking this as a compliment?
im a chick and i love this song this is my 8 ball-pool song,i dont know but if im about to take a shot in pool i put this song on and for some reason i play better pool sounds crazy but 3 times i have now won a pool game when i played this song in the last few shots so much so the boys request i no longer play pool when i play this song.
