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
