[Verse 1]
Some people say I'm obnoxious
And I'm lazy
Some people say I take advantage of the younger girls
And they're right
Some people say I should have been taught
A few more manners at home
Some say I'm chauvinistic
Better off just to leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
If I can't please myself, could I really please you?
[Chorus]
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
[Verse 2]
Some people like to talk and tell you their ideals
And how it's supposed to be
Some people are fools like me
And say what's on their mind immediately
Some people don't say anything at all
And some just care too much
Some people, some people, some people
Are driving me crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
When I can't please myself, could I really please you?
[Chorus]
Being brought up
The American fool, yeah
Being brought up
The American fool, yeah (Here we go)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Some people say I'm obnoxious
And I'm lazy
Some people say I take advantage of those younger girls
And they're right
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
If I can't please myself, could I really please you?
[Chorus]
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool, yeah
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
