CHAINS OF LOVE (AROUND MY NECK)
(Jerry Crutchfield)


Barbara Fairchild - 1970





Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
But I wore 'em much too long (Chains, chains)
Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
Just look how long you've been gone

Do you remember baby what you told me on that night
That you would always love me and would never leave my side
And I believed those tender lovin' words you said to me
But all these months of waitin' have just brought me misery

With chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
But I wore 'em much too long (Chains, chains)
Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
Just look how long you've been gone

(Instrumental Break)

So now's the time has come for me to set the record straight
When you decide to come home,baby, you'll just have to wait
I finally found the answer to what love is all about
So when you come a-ballin' in, you'll see me struttin' out

With chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
But they'll be for someone new (Chains, chains)
Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
Chains of love with someone true

Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
But I wore 'em much too long (Chains, chains)
Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
Just look how long you've been gone

Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
But I wore 'em much too long (Chains, chains)
Chains of love around my neck (Chains, chains)
Just look how long you've been gone
