I wish I was stronger

I wish I was wiser than right now

Can't wait any longer

For you to tell me you'll always be around

But I know something ain't right, your love has locked me so tight

I got this feeling that you ain't gonna stay and I'm never gonna break away

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

You got the key to me boy, yeah you do

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

Chained by you...

I always thought you were a gentleman

But now you've shown me all I was too blind to see

Now I'm wishin' for a better man

To find somebody to break these chains

They are holding me...

Cause I know somethin' ain't right, I got this feelin that you ain't gonna stay

And I'm never gonna break away

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

You got the key to me boy, yeah you do

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

Chained by you...

Now I can't wait for you to go and change your ways

If only I could break these chains

That are holding me, they are holding me, yeah!

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

You got the key to me boy, yeah you do

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

Chained by you...

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

You got the key to me boy, yeah you do

I've been chained, I've been chained, chained by you

Chained by you...
