"Chains" lyrics

"Chains"
(originally by The Cookies)

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, cos 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, darling, 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...


Writer(s): Carole King, Gerry Goffin
George Harrison sang lead vocals on this song, and it was the first time when he sang on a released song.
This song is one of the six covers of The Beatles' debut album.
Despite the fact that the band played this song on numerous BBC radio shows, it wasn't included in the compilation album "Live at the BBC" (1994), and appeared only later on the compilation "On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2" (2013).
