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 anymore

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

Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo

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

Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo Send me to the Congo
