You say that I put chains on you
But I don't think that's really true
But if you want to be free from me

You gotta lose me in another world

Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave

There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please


Like a soldier ant
I will wait for the signal to act

To take a walk right through the door
If you don't want me here any more


Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Send me to the Congo you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

Into my heart you came

And gave a whole new meaning to my life
Into my world you brought a light
I thought it never would go out


Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead

Send me to the Congo you have to believe
You can do it if you wanna just do what you please


You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave
There's always somewhere anybody can lead
Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe

You can do it if you wanna just do what you please

I would never be the one to say you had no reason

To want me somewhere else far far away
But someday you may understand, someday you will see
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been


Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be
Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me


I would never be the one to say you had no reason
To want me somewhere else far far away

Someday you may understand someday you will see...
