Us Amazonians
Kirsty Maccoll

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
