Chained - Lyrics by Marvin Gaye


Lyrics
Seems just yesterday you were in my arms

And in a special way you touched my heart with all your charms

And now you're gone

Oh and I find myself, honey, I'm all alone

And there's no love left to take

Don't know where I fell, for you I've always cared

I did all I know

To win your love and make it so

You'd always stay but you turned away

Honey, what could I say?

How could you, how could you,

How could you do me this way?

'Cause I'm chained to your love and affection

'Cause I'm chained; oh your love's my only direction

Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah



I've got to make it right, somehow it's always wrong

Somewhere down the line

The love I've lost I've got to find, yeah

But it won't be long

I'm gonna make it right, baby

And carry you tenderly back home

'Cause I'm chained to your love and affection

'Cause I'm chained; every time I hear your name I tremble

I tremble, oh you know, oh you know



Oh baby, oh baby

Well, now I admit that I

Haven't been the perfect guy

For a girl as sweet as you

But my heart and soul cries, How do you?

Oh, that's all I need

Oh, gonna make it right, baby

If you just stay, stay with me

'Cause I'm chained

Oh I'm chained to your love and affection

Yes I'm chained

...and fade
