Chained and Bound Songtext
von Otis Redding

Darling now, you made me change my mind
Can′t go no further, because you got me chained and bound, oh
Taller than the tallest pine
Sweeter than a grape on a vine, now
I ain't going no further, because you got me chained and bound, right now, now

So glad, I′m so glad, I'm so glad
Lord, I don't have to worry no more
Oh my, my, my
Baby, somebody, somebody

What kind of life is this that I′ma living
Oh Lord, what kind of love is this you′re trying to give me
I feel like I'm standing up and telling the world
Oh, yeah

Darling, oh
Don′t break this little heart of mine
There's no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh
You walk with your head in the sky
Darling don′t ever pass me by
I ain't going no further, ′cause you got me chained and bound, oh now


So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Lord, I don′t have to worry no more
You got me chained to her love, now
I don′t want to be taken away, baby
I'm chained and a little bound, now, now, now

Listen to the story
I wanna tell you about it
Listen to the story, now
Honey, I wanna tell you about it
I said I′m chained
Oh God, I'm chained
And I loved to be chained, honey, yeah
I′m so glad I'm chained, now

I got me a sweet little woman
And she′s a sweet little woman, baby, now
She's a good ole, old fashioned woman, man, but she's alright
She′s a good old woman, yeah
And I love that little girl


I swear I love that little girl, now
Nobody can ever take her place
Nobody can never take her place, now
Early in the morning, she fix my breakfest
Later in the evening, she walks my dog
In the midnight hour, we sleeps together
So you can see about this good woman I got

I love, love, love ya, woman
And I love, love, love ya, woman
And I′m never gonna leave you darling
And I'm never gonna leave her, now
And there so many me′s tryna get my woman

But I'm not worried about a thing, yeah, I′m not,
I said I'm not worried about a thing, man
No man, or nobody′s ever gonna get this lovin' of mine
Because I know what I'm doing, man
And I got a few things I can tell you about

I love you, woman
I love you, woman, yeah
And I love you, woman, yeah
And I′m gonna keep on loving you

Caught ourself making up a song
But we got to get the feeling, now
We got to get the feeling, baby
You got to get the feeling

So gooey to me, baby
I said it′s so gooey to me, baby
And you're so, so gooey to me, baby, yeah
You′re so gooey to me, honey, I love it

Oh, sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me
Sock it to me, baby

Good God almighty, I'm chained, yeah
Lord, I′m chained to your little lovin', now
And I do not don′t want to be taken away
I said I do not don't want to be taken away

Sock it to me
