South American, I just long for a ship
I wanna be, I wanna be where it’s at
South American, if I only could
South American, well, you know I would
It’s not just a lesson in geography
A simple translation this message conveys
You only get to heaven if you chase your dreams
From south of the equator it keeps callin’ to me
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
I’m hungry and I’m doing lunch with Cameron Diaz
Gimme that, gimme that South American girl
South American, she’ll read you like a book
It’s written in the wind and on the tropical sea
It rolls off my tongue like a magical phrase
Let the paparazzi flash, let the tabloid scream
I’ve been around too long to care what anyone says
South American, she’s got that tango look
It’s a different planet, it’s a different place
South American, I’m not on some trip
No equation to unravel algebraically
He calls it out of this world without traveling to space
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
