Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Ooh, woman in chains
Woman in chains
Well I feel lying and 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
[Chorus]
Well, it's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Ohh
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
[Verse 2]
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Ooh
The sun and the moon
Men of stone
Men of stone
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Well, I feel
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
You know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
World gone crazy
Keeps a woman in chains
Gone crazy, keeps a woman in chains
[Outro]
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
The sun and the moon
The wind and the rain
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
