Chained Songtext
von Mavis Staples

Hey, hey, hey baby come back home
Hey baby come back home

Seems like yesterday I was in your arms
And in a special way you touched my heart with all your charms
Now you′re gone (now you're gone)
And I find myself honey, I′m all alone (I'm all alone)
And there's no love left
Don′t know where I failed ′cause I've always cared
I did all I know to win your love and make it so

You′d always stay (stay) but you turned away
Honey, what can I say? (What can I say?)
How could you do me, do me this way?
I'm chained to your love and affection
Chained for your love is my only direction

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I′ve got to make it right
Somehow I'm always wrong
Somewhere down the line the love I lost
But I gotta find it, and it won′t be long


I've gotta make it right baby (I've gotta make it right)
And carry you tenderly back home
′Cause I′m chained to your love and affection (chained)
Every time I'm near you baby. I tremble oh
Oh. I tremble darling

I admit that I haven′t been the perfect girl
For a guy as sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out to you
I'm gonna make it right, baby (I′m gonna make it right, baby)
Baby you just stay here with me

'Cause I′m chained (chained, chained, chained)
Chained, baby I'm chained to your love and affection (chained, chained, chained)
Chained for your love, my only direction (chained, chained, chained)
Chained, baby, yes I am (chained, chained, chained)

I'm chained (chained, chained, chained)
Yeah, I′m chained (chained, chained, chained)
Chained oh yeah (chained, chained, chained)
To your love and affection (chained, chained, chained)
Chained baby, to you (chained, chained, chained)
For I′m chained, yeah (chained, chained, chained)
