US Amazonians |
Here in the country we dance and we play |
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day |
I fell in love with a real city boy |
Who’s afraid of his nature, afraid of his joy |
I punched him out and brought him to this hut |
But I know he’ll thank me when he wakes up |
We got trees, we got snakes, we got acres of sky |
His life in the city was making him cry |
Come on, come on darling, be brave for a while |
You don’t look afraid when you laugh and you smile |
I’ll be good, I’ll be strong |
I’ll be just what you needed all along |
Here in the country we dance and we play |
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day |
I fell in love with a real city boy |
Who’s afraid of his nature, afraid of his joy |
Us Amazonians know where we stand |
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man? |
Us Amazonians make out alright |
But we want something to hold in the forest at night |
Come on, come on darling, be brave for a while |
You don’t look afraid when you laugh and you smile |
Breathe in deep, stick with me |
You’ll still be free as you let yourself be |
If you’re certain, if you’re true |
I’ll be the only country girl for you |
I’ll be good, I’ll be strong |
I’ll be just what you needed all along |
Here in the country we dance and we play |
And we pray to our saints and we make love all day |
I fell in love with a real city boy |
Gotta teach him about nature, and teach him about joy |
Us Amazonians know where we stand |
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man? |
Us Amazonians make out alright |
But we want something to hold in the forest at night |
Here’s my boyfriend, he’s small, he is blue |
He is cold, he is rough, he’s appalling that’s true |
But he’s got the power, he’s got the fire |
To be just like us is his only desire |
He’ll learn to hunt and I’ll teach him to fish |
We’ll boil up our rice in a satellite dish |
We’ll plant cassava wherever we can |
Us Amazonians always get our man |
Us Amazonians know where we stand |
We got kids, we got jobs, why do we need a man? |
Us Amazonians make out alright |
But we want something to hold in the forest at night |
