American Boy

[Verse 1: Estelle & (Peter Hook)
Just another one champion sound
Yeah, Estelle, we about to get down (get down)
Who the hottest in the world right now?
Just touched down in London town
But they gave me a pound
Tell them put the money in my hand right now
Tell the promoter we need more seats
We just sold out all the floor seats

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
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 five-foot-seven guy who's just my type
Like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
Don't like his baggy jeans, but I might like what's underneath them
And no, I ain't been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's hard to wake
First let's see the West End, I'll show you to my bedroom
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
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-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Will you be my American boy, 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
Sneakers looking fresh to death, I'm loving those Shell Toes
Walking that walk, talk that slick talk
I'm liking this American boy, American boy

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I really want to come kick it with you
You'll be my American boy

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Will you be my American boy, American boy?

Tell 'em wah gwan blud
Who killing them in the UK?
Everybody gonna say "You, K"
Reluctantly, 'cause most of these pricks don't fuck with me
Estelle once said to me "Cool down, down
Don't act a fool now, now"
I always act a fool oww, oww
Ain't nothing new now, now
He crazy, I know what you're thinking
Ribena, I know what you're drinking
Rap singer, chain blinger
Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin'
What's your persona about this Americana?
Drama, am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer?
Dress smart like a London bloke
Before he speak, he super slow
And you thought he was cute before
Look at this peacoat, tell me he's broke
And I know you ain't into all that
I heard your lyrics, I feel your spirit
But I still talk that ca-a-ash
'Cause a lot of wags wanna hear it
And a fella like Mike at his baddest
Like the pips and they gladdies
And I know they love it
So to hell with all that rubbish

Would you be my love, my love?
Could you be mine?
Would you be my love, my love?
Could you be mine?
Could you be my love, my love?
Would you be my American boy, American boy?

Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (go some day)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (I'd love to see LA)
I really want to (to) come kick it with you (ooh)
You'll be my American boy (be my American boy)
Take me on a trip I'd like to go some day (I'd like to go some day)
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA (see LA)
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-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
