I know how to treat a lady

Who knows how to treat her man

I've been in love one or two times

I made out the best that I can

I've been all around the world and back

And here's what I have to say

The ladies I love and livin' in the U.S.A



CHORUS:

I'm talking about American girls

They got what I need

American girls

That's what I want

American girls

There ain't no better boy and that's no lie



She takes you home to meet her daddy

He looks you right in the eye

He says, now tell me you intention, boy

And you make your reply

I'm a man of honor, my thoughts are pure

And you can bet your life

I won't even kiss her,

Unless I'm gonna make her my wife



CHORUS
