[Chorus]
Velvet chains softly hold me
Keep me from strayin' to another one's arms
Locked in your love I will remain
I don't wanna be free from your velvet chains

You keep the door wide open
You don't lock me in
I come and go
Your never ask me where I've been

You know I'm faithful
Yes, I'm bound to be
Your lovin' arms
Put these velvet chains on me

[Chorus: x2]

I don't wanna be free from your velvet chains
