CHAINED
(Jerry Foster / Bill Rice)


Johnny Russell - 1972



Chains (Chains), heavy chains that tie me down
Keep my heart sorrow bound
Chains (Chains), chockin' me till I can't breathe
Why (Why) do you keep these chains on me
Chained (Chained), is this the way love has to be

Chained (Chained), all because of jealousy
You have put these chains on me
Now (Now) I'm a prisoner of your love
Bound (Bound) by obsessions in your mind
Chained (Chained), I can't break these chains that bind

(Instrumental Break)

Chained (Chained), only you possesses the key
That unlocks these chains on me
Why (Why) do you refuse to let me go
Have (Have) you lost all faith in me
Chained (Chained), is this the way love has to be
