Here is a story of three young people
A girl and two boys, she's got American eyes, American eyes
They left school for fame and fortune
But she was the one, the girl with the stars in her eyes
Stars and stripes in her eyes
I was one of the boys, oh how I loved her
But she wouldn't see me, She shut her apple pie eyes
As blue as Jamaica skies
Oh unrequited love quite often grows, and never quite goes
Cho doh doh doh , Ohh Ohh (American eyes)
He was one of the boys, he joined the army
He sailed from American shores, to fight the foreigners' war
Baby shut your eyes up tight, I swear the world won't end tonight
And when we die our spirits fly, into the light above the sky
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
American eyes
