Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy
(Singing, singing, singing)
I met him back when I was out in California, hey
He was playing in a band and she was dancing on a stage
And he says that I'm the one
But she's the one that got away
And he never knew her real name
Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up
And insecure 'bout all the things you say (say, say, say, say)
Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous
It's just careless me, boy
I must drive you mad
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy
Singing, singing, singing
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy, my american boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
