Mouth's Cradle - American Boys lyrics

[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)
