Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
I can't run around 'cause I'm not free-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, these chains of lo-o-ove
Won't let me be, yeah
Now, believe me when I tell you "I think you're fine"
I'd like to love you but, darling, I'm imprisoned by these
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
I wanna tell you, pretty baby, "your lips look sweet"
I'd like to kiss them but I can't break away from all of these
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, chains of lo-o-o-ove
FADE
