Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go sun bathe.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy. American Boy

He said Hey Sister. It's really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type.
I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don't' like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath it.
And no I aint been to MIA I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
First let's see the west end.
I'll show you to my brethren.
I'm like this American Boy. Take me on a trip, I'd like to go sun bathe.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy

Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café.
Let's go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Yes get all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to Def I'm lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I'm likin this American Boy.
American BoyTake me on a trip, I'd like to go sun bathe.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American BoyWould you be my love, my love.
Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine.
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy.
American Boy

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go sun bathe.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.




I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy
