American Woman

by richard starkey and vini poncia

ev'rytime i see you walkin' down the street,
i say, you're the kind of woman i just gotta meet.
you look so good and you look so fine
and one of these days i'm gonna make you mine.

your eyes are green and your legs are long,
and if i'm gonna get you, well, i gotta be strong.
but you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.

devil woman, you're like a stranger to me.
devil woman, this ain't the way it should be.

ev'rytime i see you in the neighbourhood,
i say, you're the kind of woman that makes me feel good.
i wanna beat you up then i wanna be kind,
and one of these days i'm gonna make you mine.

early in the mornin' when the sun is hot,
all i do is think about the things you got.
but you're like the devil with horns in your head,
the only way i'll get you is to get you in bed.
