[Chorus]
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

[Verse 1]
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out, love
I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean, yeah, oh
You treated me cruel, oh, you did

[Chorus]
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

[Verse 2]
Now every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak, yeah
Oh, but I'll give you strength, oh, yeah
You tell 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
[Chorus]
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain, yeah (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

[Verse 3]
One of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until then, I'm gonna take
All that I can take, oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, hey
Chain, chain, chain (Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools, oh, yeah
(Chain, chain, chain) Chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, oh yeah
(Chain, chain, chain) Chain
Chain of fools
