John Mellencamp American Fool song lyrics

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 of 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?

Chorus

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?

Some people say I’m obnoxious and I’m lazy

Some people say I take advantage of the 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?
