American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don't come hanging 'round my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growing old with you
Now, woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don't come knocking 'round my door
I don't wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now, woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hanging 'round my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now, woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
I gotta go
I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go
I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
A-bye-bye, a-bye bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
(American woman)
You're no good for me
And I'm no good for you
(American woman)
I look you right straight in the eye
And tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman)
I'm gonna leave you, woman
You know I gotta go
(American woman)
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I gotta go
(American woman)
I, I gotta go
I gotta go, American woman, yeah
American woman, mama, let me be
Don't come hanging 'round my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growing old with you
Now, woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don't come knocking 'round my door
I don't wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now, woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, I said get way
American woman, listen what I say
Don't come hanging 'round my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now, woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
I gotta go
I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go
I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
I'm gonna leave you, woman
A-bye-bye, a-bye bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
The Guess Who originally recorded the song.
i actually have never heard the original gotta go check it out now ,, but i admit i love this version especially with lenny singing it !mmm
As a cover song, I think he really butchers it. I don't remember who originally did it. Also, with the last verse and the last parts of the song - he could have recorded them better? It is all distorted like an amateur recording where the person has the recording volume up to high. Why, Lenny, why?
This song is a great one to wake up to if you're on the road. The end( where he says a couple lines) is incredibly funny, it's so lame, makes me crack up every time. I find it a decent song though besides that last part.
actually, it wasn't Guess Who; it was this group called Bachman, Randy & Cummings, Burton...
great song, i love it
actually, it was The Guess Who.. Randy Bachman is their guitarist and Burton Cummings the singer. They later covered it.
This song kicks!!!!! I think is perfect to amuse your man with a lap dance..... =P
@RamImpulse Fuck yes!!! Great comment
or maybe a little striptease XD
@Annalyne17 yap 4 sure :)

Its a political song and its really good but it is not flattering to americans or american women. I think all people hear is the beat, american woman, and the bit about sparkling someones eyes and not paying attention to what he's saying.
"Go away.. I don't want to see your face" Now really?? Women are taking this as a compliment?
im a chick and i love this song this is my 8 ball-pool song,i dont know but if im about to take a shot in pool i put this song on and for some reason i play better pool sounds crazy but 3 times i have now won a pool game when i played this song in the last few shots so much so the boys request i no longer play pool when i play this song.
