Kirsty Maccoll - Us Amazonians lyrics

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 ca**ava 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
