American Boy

[Chorus: Perrie]

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy

(Singing, singing, singing)

[Verse 1: Jesy]

And I met him back when I was out in Californ-I-A

He was playin' in a band and she was dancin' on a stage

And he says that I'm the one, but she's the one that got away

And he never knew her real name

[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne]

Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up

And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)

Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me

Boy, I must drive you mad

[Chorus: Perrie, Perrie & Jesy]

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy

My American boy

[Post-Chorus: Leigh-Anne & Jade]

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know it's my American boy (Hey)

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know it's my American boy (Hey)

[Verse 2: Jade]

So, I wanna know who's on your phone

Making me paranoid, making me bad

Making me sad, making me crazy

And making me feel like I needed to ask

I wanna know if you're at home

And if you're at home, baby, are you alone?

Are you alone? Answer your phone

Oh, baby, no, no, no

[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne]

Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up (Say)

And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)

Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me

Boy, I must drive you mad

[Chorus: Perrie & Jesy, Leigh-Anne, Jade, Jesy]

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart (He breaks my heart)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy (Oh, la, la, la, la)

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy (Singin', singin', singin')

My American boy

[Post-Chorus: Leigh-Anne & Jade, Perrie]

American, 'merican, 'merican boy (Oh, woah)

You know it's my American boy (Hey)

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know it's my American boy (Hey)

[Bridge: Jesy & Jade, Perrie, Leigh-Anne]

Singin', ooh, la, la, ooh, la, la

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar (When he plays guitar)

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart

He do (My American boy)

[Chorus: Perrie & Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne, Jesy]

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar (When he plays guitar, no)

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy (Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Singin', singin', singin'

Ooh, la, la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar

And, ooh, la, la, my American boy (Boy, boy, oh)

My American boy

[Post-Chorus: Leigh-Anne & Jade, Perrie, Jesy]

American, 'merican, 'merican boy (American, 'merican boy)

You know it's my American boy (Boy; hey)

American, 'merican, 'merican boy

You know it's my American boy
