Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold thinking of you
No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace
I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss can put out the fire
Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy
This longing in me

[Chorus]
I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember?
How you could thrill me with a sigh
Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains while we're apart

Each kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free

[Chorus]

That kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I'll never be free
