I still remember that summer well
There were rumours all over town
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
And there she was swimming in our swimming pool
She was there with a friend of mine
Waved me in like a pantomime
Well my heart skipped and it sank
So I jumped right in and I was like
Oh my god, who's that American girl?
Born in an American world
Ooooooo
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
She was here on a holiday
Flew in from east LA
With a flower in her hair
And a fire in her eyes
She was talk of the town
Queen of the midnight
Just like a beauty queen
Straight from a movie scene
With a single glance
Eyes as blue as ice
I fell in love with an American girl that night
And I was like oh my god, who's that American girl?
Born in an American world
Ooooooo
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
Oh my god, who's that American girl?
Born in an American world
Ooooooo
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
At the end of the summer bash
I went and took a chance
I asked her to a dance
To my surprise, she looked me in the eyes
And she said "yeah"
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
And I was like oh my god, who's that American girl?
Born in an American world
Ooooooo
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
Oh my god, who's that American girl?
Born in an American world
Ooooooo
I'd never seen a real life American girl before
