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
But here's what I've got to reveal
That 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
Oh, 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 B.C.
'Cause 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
Oh, 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
And Canada loves you back
Canada loves you back
Wherever you go we want you to know
That Ryan, Canada loves you back
How 'bout something anthemic?
Or something Celine ought to sing?
He helped us all through the pandemic
So, what you waiting for?
Let those church bells ring
And 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-ooh)
Canada loves you back (yeah)
Wherever you go we want you to know
That Ryan, Canada (better not, better not, better not screw up)
(But until you do)
We love you back
