Oh  she runs through the jungle on a panther's back  now
Darker than a chocolate cake now

She wants to be a singer in america

I told her I could give her a break

Well I've been to england and I've been to siam
And I love the girls wherever I go

But this one's love put a hole in my heart

Africa is always her home

I think that I love you

You're too free to care

Religion will save you

Civilization's here

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go

I wanna go  go back to Africa

I brought her to America to give her a life now
Of cocoa burgers every day now

She ran into some sisters that turned her right on
Her heritage got get away

Her clothes come from ghana and she prays to the east
She doesn't take the white man's flack

I still drink my soda but I'm very confused

Sometimes I wish I were black

I never oppressed her for race or for sex

I just try to love her  'cuz I heard she's the best

She's the best

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go back to Africa

I wanna go

I wanna go  go back to Africa

I wanna go

I wanna go  go back to Africa
