This is actually a cover version of The Guess Who's song. Kravitz made it heavier with a catchy beat and most people seem to love this version. When you listen to the lyrics though it's more political and not at all flattering towards Americans!
American Woman
Lyrics
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
