American Fool Songtext
von John Mellencamp

Some people say I′m obnoxious and I'm lazy
Some people say I take advantage of
the younger girls, and they′re right
Some people say should have been taught a few more manners at home
Some say I'm chauvinistic better off just to leave me alone

I don't know what I′m supposed to do
If I can′t please myself could I really please you
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool

Some people like to talk and tell you
their ideals and how it's supposed to be
Some people are fools like me and say what′s on their mind immediately
Some people don't say at all and some just care too much
Some people, some people, some people are driving me crazy


I don′t know what I'm supposed to do
When I can′t please myself could I really please you
Being brought up
The American fool, yeah
Being brought up
The American fool

Some people say I'm obnoxious and I'm lazy
Some people say I take advantage of
those younger girls, and they′re right

I don′t know what I'm supposed to do
If I can′t please myself could I really please you
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
The American fool
Being brought up
