Little Mix – American Boy lyrics
[Chorus: Perrie]
Singing, singing, singing
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]
I met him back when I was out in California, hey
He was playing in a band and she was dancing 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 & All]
Singing, singing, singing
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
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 and All]
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
[Verse 2: Jade]
So I wanna know who's on your phone
Making me paranoid, making me bad
Making me sad, making me crazy
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]
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 & All]
Singing, singing, singing
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
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 and All]
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
[Bridge: Jesy]
Singing ooh la la, ooh la la
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
He do
[Chorus: Perrie & All]
Singing, singing, singing
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
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy (boy, boy)
My American boy
[Post-Chorus: Leigh-Anne and All]
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Know it's my American boy
American, 'merican, 'merican boy

Singing, singing, singing

I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
And ooh la la, my American boy
