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)

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
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)
