Steven Page, Odds - Canada Loves You Back Lyrics

They said Bryan Adams was busy
And Nickelback all had to work
They meant to call Drake
But called me by mistake
So you're stuck with a song by this jerk
They asked me to write you a number
To show you just how we all feel
We know you're a fan of the
Land we call Canada
So here's what I've got to reveal

Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Wherever you go
We want you to know that, Ryan
Canada loves you back

A genuine Canadian icon
Like Shatner or Alex Trebek
You're almost as juicy
As Bruno Gerussi
And much better known in Quebec
Of all the Canadian Ryans
You've gotta be in our top three
We'll drink American gin
When your team in Wales wins
And tell everyone you're from BC

Canada's got your back
Canada's got your back
When things aren't so good
In old Hollywood remember
Canada's got your back

You're Canada's own superhero
And not simply when you're on screen
You shine a spotlight
On the people who might
Not otherwise get to be seen
Of course we would love to take credit
But that's not what Canadians do
Our nation's foundation
Of self-deprecation
Seems like it has rubbed off on you

Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Wherever you go
We want you to know that, Ryan
Canada loves you back

How about something anthemic?
Something Celine oughta sing
He helped us all through the pandemic
So whatcha waiting for?
Let those church bells ring!

Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Wherever you go
We want you to know that, Ryan
Canada loves you back

Canada loves you back
(Oh)
Canada loves you back
(Yeah)
Wherever you go
(Better not, better not, better not screw up)
We want you to know that, Ryan
(But until you do)
We love you back
