[Intro]
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
(Congo the Congo)
I would never be the one to say you had no reason (Congo the Congo)
To want me somewhere else far, far away (Congo the Congo)
But someday you may understand, someday you will see (Congo the Congo)
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been (Congo the Congo)
(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 (Congo the Congo)
To want me somewhere else far, far away (Congo the Congo)
But someday you may understand, someday you will see (Congo the Congo)
That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been (Congo the Congo)
