Chain Letter Songtext
von Kim Carnes

Oh no
I read what you wrote
Feels like chains to me
You keep me tied up
With your talk about love
That never sets us free

When I read
What you say
I hear desperation
In every cliché
You′re daring me to break

Chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it's) chaining me to you
Chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it′s) chaining me to you


Goodbye
You said goodbye
You hurt me so bad
(You hurt me so much)
Then you come back
And I hear your steps in the hall
And a letter under the door
When I read what you say
"We've made a terrible mistake"
And it's more than I can take

Chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it′s) chaining me to you
Chain, chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it′s) chaining me

By now all the sweet things you're beggin′ to say
Are just marks on a page
I hear calculation
I hear desperation
And I hear you daring me to break


Chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it's) chaining me to you
It′s a chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it's) chaining me to you
Chain
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it′s) chaining me to you
(I read your letter and it feels like chains)
Chain letter
(I read your letter and it's) chaining me to you
(I read your letter) and it feels like chains
Chain letter
I hear desperation
