"Chained and Bound"
Darling, hey now, you made me change my mind
I can't go no further
Because you got me chained and bound, oh
Taller than the tallest pine
Sweeter than a grape on a vine, now
Can't go no further
Because you got me chained and bound, right now, now
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Oh, I don't have to worry no more
Oh, my, my, my
Baby, somebody, somebody
What kind of life is this that I'm living?
Oh Lord, what kind of love is she trying to give me?
I feel like standing up and telling the word
I'm chained to your love
Darling, oh
Don't break this little heart of mine
There's no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh
You walk with your head in the sky
Darling don't ever pass me by
I ain't going no further
Because you got me chained and bound, oh now
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Lord, I don't have to worry no more
Oh, she got me chained to her love, now
I don't, I don't want to be taken away, baby
I'm chained, I'm chained and a little bound, now, now, now
I'm chained, I'm chained to your love
I don't, I don't know darling I wanna to be taken away, now
Ooh, just a little bit of soul
Just a little bit of soul, now
Somebody, somebody, somebody...
