Chain, chain, chain. Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain. Chain chain chain chain
Chain of fools
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't no-thin' but your fool
You treat-ed me mean, oh
You treat-ed me cruel
Chain, chain, chain. Chain of fools
Well, ev-er-y chain
Has got a weak link
Well, I might be weak
But I'll give you strength
You told me to leave you a- lone
My fa-ther said come on home
My doc-tor said take it ea-sy
Whole bunch of lov-in’ is much to strong
I'm add-ed to your
Chain, chain, chain. Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain. Chain chain chain chain
Chain of fools
One of these morn- ings
The chain's gon-na break
But up un-til then
I'm gon-na take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain. Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain. Chain chain chain chain
Chain of fools
