American Boy
Estelle feat. Cee-Lo Lyrics

Just another one champion sound
We are a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned with.

Me and Estelle about to get down
Estelle and I are about to have a great time and enjoy the night.

Who the hottest in the world right now
We are the hottest celebrities right now and everyone wants to be like us.

Just touched down in London town
We have just arrived in London and we are excited to explore the city.

Bet they give me a pound
We are confident that people will show us admiration and appreciation.

Tell them put the money in my hand right now
We want our payment in cash and immediately.

Tell the promoter we need more seats,
We have such a big following that we need more seats for everyone to enjoy the show.

We just sold out all the floor seats
Our show is so popular that all the best seats have already been purchased.

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
I want to travel to new places and experience different cultures.

Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA
I want to explore the biggest cities in the United States and see what they have to offer.

I really want to come kick it with you
I want to spend time with you and get to know you better.

You'll be my American boy
I see you as the epitome of American culture and I am intrigued by it.

He said 'Hey Sister'
The man I met greeted me warmly.

It's really really nice to meet ya
He expressed how happy he was to meet me.

I just met this five foot seven guy who's just my type
I found a man who I am interested in, and he matches my physical preferences.

I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking
The way he talks shows me that he is very self-assured and confident.

Don't like his baggy jeans but I'ma like what's underneath it
I don't like his choice of clothing, but I believe he has good style otherwise.

And no I ain't been to MIA
I have never been to Miami.

I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits
I've heard that California has great weather, and New York is a place for new experiences.

First let's see the west end
Before exploring further, we should first see the Western part of London.

I'll show you to my brethren.
I will introduce you to my friends and family.

I'm like this American boy, American boy
I am drawn towards the man who represents American culture that I find interesting.

Can we get away this weekend
Can we take some time off from our busy lives and go somewhere for a quick vacation?

Take me to Broadway
I want to see a show on Broadway in New York City.

Let's go shopping baby maybe then we'll go to a cafe
We can do some shopping and then have a nice meal at a cafe.

Let's go on the subway
I want to take a ride on the subway in New York City.

Take me to your hood
I want to see where you grew up and your neighborhood.

I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good
I have never visited Brooklyn before, and I want to experience its unique culture.

Dress in all your fancy clothes
I want you to dress in your best attire.

Sneaker's looking 'fresh to def' I'm lovin' those shell toes
I really like your sneakers, they are very stylish.

Walkin' that walk
The way you walk is very confident and stylish.

Talk that slick talk
You speak with confidence and style.

I'm likin' this American Boy, American boy
I am very attracted to this man who embodies American culture.

Who killin' 'em in the U-K
Who is doing extremely well and is very popular in the United Kingdom?

Everybody gonna to say you K,
Everyone is going to acknowledge that you are very successful and popular.

Reluctantly, because most of this press don't fuck wit me
Despite my success, many members of the press do not support me.

Estelle once said to me, cool down down don't act a fool now now
Estelle advised me to remain calm and not cause any trouble.

I always act a fool ow ow
I tend to act impulsively and without thinking things through.

Ain't nothing new now now
This is not a new behavior of mine.

He crazy, I know what ya thinkin'
Some people might think that he is crazy or wild.

Ribena, I know what your drinkin'
I know what type of drink, Ribena, you are consuming.

Rap singer, chain blinger
I am a rapper and I wear a lot of flashy jewelry.

Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinkin'
I tend to move on to the next woman very quickly.

What's you're persona, about this American Brama
What's your character, concerning this drama involving American culture?

Am I shallow cause all my clothes designer
Am I superficial for wearing only designer clothes?

Dressed smart like a London Bloke
I dress very stylishly and elegantly, like a British gentleman.

Before he speak his suit bespoke
His suit is so well-made and tailored that it speaks for him before he can.

And you thought he was cute before
You found him attractive before, but now he is even more appealing.

Look at this pea coat, tell me he's broke
Despite his fashionable appearance, this pea coat suggests that he might not have a lot of money.

And I know you ain't into all that
I know that designer clothes and material possessions are not important to you.

I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit
I have listened to your music and I appreciate your soulful energy and vibe.

But I still talk that ca-a-a-sh
I still talk about money and wealth, even if it is not important to you.

Cause a lot wags want to hear it
Because many people in the entertainment industry are obsessed with money and status.

And I'm feelin' like Mike at his baddest
I am feeling very confident and powerful, like Michael Jordan at his best.

The Pips at they Gladys and I know they love it
Like Gladys Knight and The Pips, I know my fans love my music and my style.

So to hell with all that rubbish
I do not care about all of the negative talk and rumors surrounding me.

Would you be my love, my love
Would you consider being in a romantic relationship with me?

Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
I am interested in you and would love to explore the possibility of a romantic relationship.

Would you be my love, my love
I want to be with you romantically and I hope you feel the same.

Would you be my American boy, American boy
I am asking you to be with me romantically, to be my American sweetheart and representative of American culture.

Take me to Chicago, San Fransico Bay
I still want to explore other cities in America, such as Chicago and San Francisco.

You'll be my American Boy
I am thrilled at the idea of having you as my American Boy and sharing experiences in different cities with you.
