Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools 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 nothin' but your fool You treated me mean Oh, you treated me cruel Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools Every chain Has got a weak link I might be weak, yeah But I'll give you strength Oh, hey 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 chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain of fools One of these mornings The chain is gonna break But up until the day I'm gonna take all I can take, oh hey Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain) Your chain of fools Chain, chain, chain Chain, chain, chain (Oh) Chain, chain, chain Your chain of fools, oh yeah
