Wow! This is new to me. American Boy was covered by Estelle, with the help from Kanye West, and the single reached no.1 in the UK. I read about this gay cover version by our gay boy, Sam Sparro, with label of Radio 1 Live Lounge.
In this song, Sam is not shy to tell us of his infatuation with an American Boy. My, my. :)
I cannot find the complete lyrics to his version - I miss out on his rap part. But still, this is a good find. :)
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.
He said Hey Mister.
It's really really nice to meet ya.
I just met this 5 foot 7 guys who's just my type.
I like the way he's speaking his confidence is peaking.
Don't like his baggy jeans but Ima like what's underneath them.
And no I aint been to MIA
I heard that Cali never rains and New York heart awaits.
First let's see the west end.
I'll show you to my bedroom.
I'm liking this American Boy. American Boy
Chorus
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy, American Boy.
Can we get away this weekend.
Take me to Broadway.
Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a Café.
Let's go on the subway.
Take me to your hood.
I neva been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.
Dressed in all your fancy clothes.
Sneaker's looking Fresh to Death I'm lovin those Shell Toes.
Walkin that walk.
Talk that slick talk.
I'm likin this American Boy. American Boy.
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy
Would you be my love, my love.
Could be mine would you be my love my love, could be mine
Could you be my love, my love.
Would you be my American Boy. American Boy
Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day
Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy, American Boy.
1 Comment:
and I grew up into a man from a baby in the pram,
I've got a lot to say, I've got a lot to do,
And hopefully very soon I'll be in a town near you.
We can party all night I'll entertain the crowd,
If you're anything like me you like to he-ear it loud,
I said Jamaica, Japan and all around,
(I don't know the last line sorry)
