Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darling, hey, now
You made me change my mind
Can't go no further
Because you got me chained and bound, oh
Taller than the tallest pine
Sweeter than a grape on a vine, now
Can't go no further
Because you got me chained and bound, right now, now
[Chorus]
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Oh, I don't have to worry no more
Oh, my, my, my
Baby, somebody, somebody
[Verse 2]
What kind of life is this kind I'ma living?
Oh Lord, what kind of love is she trying to give me?
I feel like I'm standin' up and tellin' the world
I'm chained to your love
[Verse 3]
Darling, oh
Don't break this little heart of mine
There's no greater love
Than this love of yours and mine, oh
[Verse 4]
You walk with your head in the sky
Darling, don't ever pass me by
I ain't going no further
Because you got me chained and bound, oh, now
[Chorus]
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Lord, I don't have to worry no more
Oh, she got me chained to her love
[Outro]
I don't, I don't want to be taken away, oh
I'm chained, I'm chained and a little bound, now, now
I'm chained, I'm chained to your love
I don't, I don't know, darling, I wanna to be taken away, now
Ooh, just a little bit of soul
Just a little bit a'softer now
I need somebody, somebody, somebody
