Lyrics for American

Play house, put my favorite record on Get down, get your crystal method on You were like, tall, tan, drivin' 'round the city Flirtin' with the girls like, "You're so pretty" "Springsteen is the king, don't you think?" I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing" Like oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh You make me crazy, you make me wild Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child Your skin so gold and brown Be young, be dope, be proud Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Drive fast, I can almost taste it now L.A., I don't even have to fake it now You were like so sick, everybody said it You were way ahead of the trend, g-get it "Elvis is the best, hell yes" "Honey, put on that party dress" Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh You make me crazy, you make me wild Just like a baby, you spin me 'round like a child Your skin so gold and brown Be young, be dope, be proud Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Everybody wants to go fast But they can't compare I don't really want the rest Only you can take me there I don't even know what I'm sayin' But I'm prayin' for you Make me crazy, you make me wild Just like a baby, you spin me 'round like a child Your skin so gold and brown Be young, be dope, be proud Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-oh Like an American!
