Lyrics

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American boy He said, "Hey sister, it's really, really nice to meet ya" I just met this 5-foot-7 guy who's just my type I like the way he's speaking, his confidence is peakin' Don't like his baggy jeans, but I'ma like what's underneath them And, no, I ain't been to MIA I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits First let's see the West End, I'll show you to my bredrin I'm likin' this American boy Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American boy American boy La, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la Would you be my American boy? Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a café Let's go on the subway, take me to your hood I've never been to Brooklyn, and I'd like to see what's good Dressed in all your fancy clothes Sneaker's looking fresh to death, I'm lovin those Shell Toes Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk I'm likin' this American boy Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American boy Would you be my love, my love, mine? Would you be my love? Could you be mine? Could you be my love? Ooh Would you be my American boy? Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American boy Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. I really want to come kick it with you You'll be my American boy American boy La, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la Would you be my American boy? American boy
