Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools
[Verse 2]
For five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
Oh you got me where you want me, I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean, oh you treated me cruel
[Verse 3]
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools
[Verse 4]
Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak, child, but I'll give you strength, oh yeah
[Verse 5]
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "Come on home"
My doctor said, "Take it easy"
Oh but your lovin' is much too strong
I'm added to your
[Verse 6]
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools
[Verse 7]
Oh one of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take, oh yeah
[Verse 8]
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools
[Verse 9]
Oh
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Oh, oh
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools
