[Chorus 1]
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 2]
Chains, well I can't break away from these chains
Can't run around, 'cause I'm not free
Whoa, oh, 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
But, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these
[Chorus 1]
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Oh, oh, it's chains of love got a hold on me
[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 1]
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, oh, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
[Outro]
Chains, chains of love
Chains of love
Chains of love
