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 |

Oh Papa he said you must turn the lights down low
Oh Papa he said that way no one will ever know And Papa he said what kind of trouble are you in? Well Papa he said you must go down on your knees Oh Papa he said you must do what it takes to please Papa he said if you've done everything I've told you to and I've never had the feeling in the past and I never felt I needed to impress I should know Well Papa he said you must walk up the hill Oh Papa he said if you don't someone else will Papa he said if you've done everything I've told you to and I've never had the feeling in the past and I've never felt I needed to impress Well Papa he said you must turn the lights down low Oh Papa he said that way no one will ever know Papa he said if you follow him wherever he may go, don't say no Oh Papa he said you must walk up the hill Papa he said if you don't no one else will No one else will Turn the lights down low No one will know Turn the lights down low The lights down low... |

Gimme a song I know, something I can relate to
People never criticise the way I play Show me the way to go, I need to make a breakthrough I don't think that I can wait another day It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way Ooh, I really can make no sense of it, as hard as I try Is it something I do wrong please won't you tell me why People all seem to like it and no one knows about it more than I I met a man today who walked in my direction Stopped took off his hat and lit a cigarette He listened carefully to what I had been playing He threw a coin into my hat and walked away Always play just what they want me to Everybody wants the same song If only I could do it in my own way I feel such emotion, emotion, ooh, emotion, emotion, ooh Say gimme a song I know, something I can relate to And no one wants to criticise the way I play I should just say no and play them what I want to Cos I don't think that I can wait another day It's putting years on me, I'm a young man going grey I don't believe that I can wait another day This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way They feel my emotion, emotion, ooh, ooh emotion, emotion, ooh |
