Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You better love lovin' and you better behave
You better love lovin' and you better behave
[Verse 2]
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
[Verse 3]
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Ooh, a woman in chains
Woman in chains
[Verse 4]
Well I feel lying in waiting is a poor man's deal
A poor man's deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Your eyes of steel
[Verse 5]
Well, it's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Whoa
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
[Verse 6]
Trades her soul as skin and bones
You better love lovin' and you better behave
Sells the only thing she owns, hoo
You better love lovin' and you better behave
[Verse 7]
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
[Verse 8]
Men of stone
Men of stone
Hey no, no, no, no, no
Ooh
[Verse 9]
Well I fell deep in your heart
There are wounds time can't heal
That time can't heal
And I feel somebody, somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
[Verse 10]
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
[Verse 11]
It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand
Somebody, somewhere is trying to breathe
We'll not accept the greatness of man
World gone crazy, keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy, keeps woman in chains
[Verse 12]
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her ...
