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
Whos afraid of his nature, afraid of his joy
I punched him out and brought him to this hut
But I know hell 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 dont look afraid when you laugh and you smile
Ill be good, Ill be strong
Ill 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
Whos 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 dont look afraid when you laugh and you smile
Breathe in deep, stick with me
Youll still be free as you let yourself be
If youre certain, if youre true
Ill be the only country girl for you
Ill be good, Ill be strong
Ill 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
Heres my boyfriend, hes small, he is blue
He is cold, he is rough, hes appalling thats true
But hes got the power, hes got the fire
To be just like us is his only desire
Hell learn to hunt and Ill teach him to fish
Well boil up our rice in a satellite dish
Well 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
