(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain

Oh, you got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak, child
But I'll give you strength, oh yeah

You told 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

I'm added to your
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

One of these morning
The chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah
I'm gonna take all I can take

Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools

Oh, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Oh ho, chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools
