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

Chains of lo-o-o-ove
