Chains Lyrics



Goffin/King


Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.

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.

I wanna tell you, pretty baby,
I think you're fine.
I'd like to love you,
But, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these...

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,
And they ain't the kind that you can see,
Oh, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me.

Please believe me when I tell you,
Your lips are sweet.
I'd like to kiss them,
But I can't break away from all of these...

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.

Chains, chains of love...

Anomalies

0:30 * NEW *
Reported as "bad sibilance on the word Chains", this has possibly been fixed in some mixes. Sibilance is that nasty "SSsshh" that you get on some 's' sounds. Unfortunately, the whole song seems to have lost it's 's' sounds, maybe this is why. "Chain. My baby got me locked up in chain" (Mono CD mix)

Faint click here, maybe a guitar tone switch flipping?
0:59-1:14
Rhythm guitar breaks up badly - more obvious on stereo than mono
1:27
John - "S'at enough?/"S'at the rhythm?" * NEW * Possibly this is someone (suggested as "from the booth", although we shouldn't be hearing them!) commenting on 0:59-1:14, the rhythm guitar breakup.
 

This was written by the husband and wife songwriting team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was originally recorded by The Cookies.
