[Intro]
Woah, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I dance when you’ve tied my hands up?
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?

[Verse 1]
You know these thigh-high black boots were made for walkin' away (Uh-uh, ah-ha, uh-uh, ah-ha)
You're tellin' me what to do, thinking that you have a say (Uh-uh, ah-ha, uh-uh, ah-ha)
And you know that I don't need a hero
I can fend for myself, but I’ll ask for help

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I need to be safe from your ego
And your hold on me
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Woah, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I dance when you’ve tied my hands up?
Woah, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?
Wanna be free
Watch me kick down the door
And leave you with a stranger 'cause I fell in love more
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?
[Verse 2]
No (Hey), I won’t tiptoe 'round ya
This ain't a fashion ballet (Uh-uh, ah-ha, uh-uh, ah-ha)
(Uh) Think you can lock me up? (Ha)
But I know the code to the cage (Uh-uh, ah-ha, uh-uh, ah-ha)
And, baby, your arms are like a prison (Hey) I don’t wanna live in
Watch me plead insanity (Aw)

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I need to be safe from your ego
And your hold on me (Hold on me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I dance when you’ve tied my hands up?
Woah, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?
Wanna be free
Watch me kick down the door
And leave you with a stranger 'cause I’ve fallen in love more
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?

[Outro]
Hey
How can I dance when you’ve tied my hands up?
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
How can I l-l-l-love if you keep me in chains?
