Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy
(Singin', singin', singin')

And I met him back when I was out in California, ay
He was playin' in a band and she was dancin' on the 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

Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy

Singin', singin', singin' 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, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy
American, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy

So I wanna know who's on your phone
Makin' me paranoid, makin' me bad
Makin' me sad, makin' me crazy
And makin' me feel like I needed to ask
I wanna know if you're at home
And if you're at home, baby, are you alone?
Are you alone? Answer your phone, oh baby

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 people almost drive me mad

Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy

Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy
(Singin', singin', singin')
My American boy

American, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy
American, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy

Singin' ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
He do

Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy

Singin', singin', singin' ooh-la-la
He breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh-la-la, my American boy (boy, boy)
My American boy

American, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy
American, American, American boy
Oh, it's my American boy
