Lyrics
[Chorus]
Chains
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love
Got a hold on me, yeah
[Chorus]
Chains
Well, I can't break away from these chains
Can't run around
'Cause I'm not free
Whoa, these chains of love
Won't let me be, yeah
[Verse 1]
Now believe me when I tell you
I think you're fine
I'd like to love you
Darlin', I'm imprisoned by these
[Chorus]
Chains
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love
Got a hold on me, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Chains
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love
Got a hold on me, yeah
[Outro]
Chains
Chains of love
Chains of love
