American woman, stay away from me  
American woman, mama let me be  
Don’t come a-hangin’ around my door  
I don’t wanna see your face no more  
I got more important things to do  
Than spend my time growin’ old with you

Go away, little girl  
It’s hurtin’ me more each minute that you delay  
When you’re near me like this  
You’re much too hard to resist  
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay

Oh, won’t you stay  
Just a little bit longer?  
Please, please, please  
Say you will, say you will

(I really can’t stay) But, baby, it’s cold outside  
(I’ve got to go away) But, baby, it’s cold outside  
(This evening has been) Been hoping that you’d drop in  
(So very nice) I’ll hold your hands they’re just like ice

It’s cold outside, it gets so hot in here  
The boys and girls collide to the music in my ear  
I hear the children crying and I know it’s time to go  
I hear the children crying  
Take me home

</div>

There’s a young man here, says he married you, another time  
The children cry and ask where their mother is  
Gonna have to let them down  
I’ve been hurt… I’ve been around

I’ve been waiting seems like eternity  
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you  
I’m still waiting, if you remember me  
I’ll be waiting, waiting for you

I can wait forever  
If you say you’ll be there too  
I can wait forever if you will  
I know it’s worth it all  
To spend my life alone  
With you

I’ve got to travel forever  
It’s all within my mind  
An endless path to endeavor  
Forever is a long, long time

And you can fly  
High as a kite if you want to  
Faster than light if you want to  
Speeding through the universe  
Thinking is the best way to travel

You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel;  
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down.  
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’,  
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.

Looking around me, there’s not so much in life that I miss  
Things that I can’t see, I’ll touch and I’ll feel then I’ll kiss  
Then I saw you standing there  
With a smile I couldn’t share  
Just looking around, everywhere

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer  
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind  
I’m in love, and I’m a believer  
I couldn’t leave her if I tried

Well, she was just seventeen  
You know what I mean  
And the way she looked  
Was way beyond compare

How could I dance with another (WOOOOO!)  
When I saw her standing there?

Happy birthday sweet sixteen  
When you were only six  
I was your big brother  
Then when you were ten  
We didn’t like each other  
When you were thirteen  
You were my funny valentine  
But since you’ve grown up  
Your future is sewn up  
From now on you’re gonna be mine.

Fuck, I love boobs, though!  
I just really love them.  
Fuck, I love boobs, though!  
I just wanna rub them.  
They are just so joobie,  
They make me feel groovy.  
I would rather watch boobs than a movie.  
Ba-do-ba-doo  
I just really love…  
…boobs.

I like big tits  
You see 'em on the street  
Left and right  
I like big tits…that’s right  
I try to look away but I can’t resist  
Every time I try to call it quits  
Hear come some tits, uh huh, thats a big 10-4

Talk about bum cakes, my girl’s got 'em  
Big bottom, drive me out of my mind  
How could I leave this behind?

On a simple line day by day  
The earth spins on its axis  
One man struggle while another relaxes
