American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
Don’t come hangin’ round 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
Now, woman
I said, stay away
American woman
Listen what I say
American woman
Get away from me
American women
Mama, let me be
Don’t come knockin’ round my door
Don’t wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now, woman
I said, get away
American woman
Listen what I say
American woman
Said, get away
American women
Listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ round my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now, woman
Get away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be
Go, gotta get away
Gotta get away now, go, go, go
I’m gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
You’re no good for me, I’m no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye, tell you what I’m gonna do
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go, you know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go, woman
I’m gonna leave, woman
Goodbye, American woman
Goodbye, American chick

True story, or so I'm told...

When Nixon was President, his daughters were fans of the Guess Who, and on their request he had the band perform at the White House. Asked what their big hit was, they said "American Woman", and Nixon, thinking it must be a song about how wonderful American women are, asked them to play it.

Hilarity ensued.

What about married women who get dementia? Did their husbands drive them nuts?

Guess who wrote that. :-)

Do I have to Guess Who that was?

At a certain point, you just want to forget everything
