American Wedding lyrics

[Intro: Frank Ocean]

American love

American me

American you

American tears

American heartbreak

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1: Frank Ocean]

I took a walk with the palm trees

As the daylight fell

Sangria in a canteen

Talking to myself (I can't remember)

This tattoo on my left hand

Is turning purple-ish blue

Daydreams of the romance

Daydreams of you (You)

My pretty woman in a ballgown

I'm Richard Gere in a tux

Getting married in a courthouse

Writing vows in a rush

Making out before the judge

With my teenage wife

Got a wedding band done

That I just might die with

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

It's an American wedding

They don't mean too much

But we were so in love

We had an American wedding

Now what's mine is yours

That's American law

[Verse 2: Frank Ocean]

M-R-S dot Kennedy

She signed her name in pen (Oh)

In the fancy, fancy cursive (Oh)

Then turned her term papers in (Oh, oh)

A thesis on Islamic (Oh)

Virgin brides and arranged marriage (Ah, ah)

Hijabs and polygamist husbands

Those poor un-American girls

After school she ran to me

Jumped in my 5.0

This is the home of the brave, land of the free

But your parents still didn't know (Oh)

She said, "I've had a hell of a summer

So, baby, don't take this hard

But maybe we should get an annulment

Before this goes way too far" (Oh)

[Chorus: Frank Ocean]

It's just an American wedding

They don't mean too much

They don't last enough

We had an American wedding

Now what's mine is yours

American divorce

[Verse 3: Frank Ocean]

Well, you can have my Mustang

That's all I've got in my name

But Jesus Christ, don't break my heart

This wedding ring won't ever wipe off

But if you stay

Oh, if you stay (Stay)

You'll probably leave later, anyway

It's love made in the USA

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: James Fauntleroy]

Don't let 'em front you, they sayin' you can't move

Without 'em, fuck 'em, I tell 'em this ain't new

We been some hustlers since it began, dude

Ain't gon' be trippin' over some bitch-ass, dude

They so vain, I tell 'em this ain't you

You could get sensitive, but this shit ain't true

These niggas can't do nothin' that I can't do

That she can't do, that he can't do

That you can't do, that we can't do

Man, I had a dream and then this shit came true

And nigga, if I did it, I think you can too

These niggas can't do nothin' that I can't do

That she can't do, that he can't do

That you can't do, that we can't do

Man, I had a dream and then this shit came true

These niggas can't do nothin' that I can't do

That she can't do, that he can't do

That you can't do
