American English, or United States (U.S.) English, is the set of dialects of the English language native to the United States. English is the most widely spoken language in the United States and is the common language used by the federal government, considered the de facto language of the country because of its widespread use. English has been given official status by 30 of the 50 state governments. As an example, while both Spanish and English have equivalent status in the local courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under federal law, English is the official language for any matters being referred to the United States District Court for the territory.
The use of English in the United States is a result of British colonization. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, American English has been influenced by the languages of West Africa, the Native American population, German, Dutch, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the United States.
I've been waiting for you for hours, babe
And you still ain't here
Waiting, waiting, hanging on the phone
It feels like a hundred years
You always keep me hanging on
Driving me crazy all the time
But when it comes down to fooling around
You're the one that rings my chimes
Come on now, honey, spend my money
Take me around the world
All this time, out of my mind
A really nasty girl
English rose, a crown of thorns
I hope you're staying around
English rose, a long, long time
Before you wear me down
The first time and it was amazing
But the next time's gonna be hell
I know your momma thinks
You're a sweet young thing
But she don't know you too well
Come on now, lover, don't run for cover
You're the one I deserve
All this time, way out of line
A great nasty girl
English rose, a crown of thorns
Don't you let me down
English rose, a long, long time
You should be wearing the crown
A long time we been lovers
A long time doing that stuff
A long time I been waiting here
But I still ain't had enough
Come on now, woman, hold on, I'm coming
I'm just a bundle of nerves
Stay right there, you ain't going nowhere
Be my nasty girl
Come on now, baby, drive me crazy
Take me around the world
You're so fine, just making time
A real nasty girl
English rose, a crown of thorns
You better stick around
English rose, a long, long time
You'll never wear me down
English rose, English rose, growing wild
I like to keep you unwound
English rose, gonna be a long, long time
