Chain of fools

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out, love
I’m just a link in your chain, oh

You got me where you want me
I ain’t nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

Every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak, child
But I’ll give you strength, oh yeah

You told me to leave you alone
My father said, “Come on home”
My doctor said, “Take it easy”
Oh, but your loving is much too strong

I’m added to your chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools, oh

One of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah
I’m gonna take all I can take, oh yeah

Chain, chain, chain

Chain of fools, oh

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain) oh
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools, oh yeah
