Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Your arms are warm but they make me feel As if they're made of cold, cold steel A simple kiss like a turnin' key A little click and the lock's on me Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands I won't admit to where I am But I know baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I pretend I can always leave Free to go whenever I please But then the sound of my desperate calls Echo off these dungeon walls I've crossed the line from mad to sane A thousand times and back again I love you baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains Should have known passing through the gate That once inside I could not escape I never thought this could happen to me Never thought this is where I'd be But baby, baby, baby, look at me Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains I'm in chains I never thought this is where I'd be Never thought this could happen to me
