Lyrics for 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...
