I'm the original American boy
 E
Love you baby, with all my heart
Ten times better than those movie stars
What you see, is what you are
A                  E
I'm no James Dean baby
A               E
But you know I care
A            E
If you ever need me,
E
I'll be there, always there

Chorus:
E7                                   A
Don't you know I love you more each day
E7                                      A
Don't you know I will always feel this way
F#                                B
You can count on me I'm here to stay

I'll go crazy if I stay inside
Come on baby, take a ride
Take you places that we've never been
Don't be shy, hop on in
I ain't no Hollywood baby
You can't find a friend,
they all say they love you
But just pretend, mine never ends

I'm the original American boy
Can't you see, you're made for me
Tell me baby that you want me too,
I'd do anything for you
I get a crazy feeling, when I look at you
Don't ask me if I want you, you know I do
Only you
I'm the original American boy
Yeah I'm the original American boy
