Lyrics

Each time I hold somebody new My arms go cold aching for you No one can take your place (Darlin' in my embrace) I'll never be free And when my lips burn with desire No other kiss puts out the fire Though I may try and try (No one can satisfy) This longing in me (I'll never be free from your smile so tender) (The sweet surrender in your eyes) How can I be free when I still remember How you could thrill me with a sigh Just like a chain bound to my heart Your love remains when we're apart Each kiss I gave to you (Made me a slave to you) I'll never be free Just like a chain bound to my heart Your love remains when we're apart Each kiss I gave to you (Made me a slave to you) And so, I'll never be free
