[Verse 1]

It's going down down baby up the elevator

From the balcony we're waving at the haters

Jet set daily but I'll see you later

If you're looking for the real thing

So won't you step step baby to my oval office

We won't have to worry bout economics

I'm so modest while being honest

I could be the next big thing

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not a king

But I'm a gent

And if you let me I'll be a president

I'll write a speech I'll make it count

And we can move into my big big house

I'm not a thief

I'm not a crook

So why your best friends give me dirty looks

I'll prove them wrong

I have no doubt

So would you please just hear me out

[Chorus]

Cuz you say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say they always keep you up with american music

(I'm in the foreign car bumping Erykah Badu)

You say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say the always swoop down like american falcon

(I try to swoop down baby but I can't help it)

[Verse 2]

So sweet sweet baby sweeter than a soda pop

But your daddy's meaner than a robo cop

He don't trust me so I wrote a song about how I'm never gonna lay hands

Lets go downtown baby like you were petula

Like my name I got it from Medulla

Once I was a loser

Then I left school and now I am a self-made man

[Pre-Chorus]

I understand that you're concerned

Because I'm not quite ready for the church

And when I leave to go to war

You think that you won't see anymore

But I'll be back in just a sec

To wrap my arms around your pretty next

And if you think you'll realize

That we are underneath the same blue skies

[Chorus]

Cuz you say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say they always keep you up with american music

(I'm in the foreign car bumping Erykah Badu)

You say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say the always swoop down like american falcon

(I try to swoop down baby but I can't help it)

[Bridge]

Whoa is me (4x)

I can't bear to have another man lost at sea

He was a firework but then he met Poseidon

I swore I wouldn't love a another sea plane pilot

MY album got five stars so I earned my stripes

You said I know you're pigheaded but you're just my type

I'm singing shimmy shimmy cocoa pop shimmy shimmy pow

Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop shimmy shimmy pow

[Chorus]

Cuz you say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say they always keep you up with american music

(I'm in the foreign car bumping Erykah Badu)

You say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)

You say the always swoop down like american falcon

(I try to swoop down baby but I can't help it)

[Ending (4x)]

You say you try to keep away from american boys

(I said baby what's wrong with american boys)
