Seems like yesterday You were in my arms And in a special way You touched my heart with all your charms. Now you're gone And I find myself Baby, I'm all alone And there's no love left. Hey! Hey! Don't know why I failed. For you I've always cared And 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 do me this way? Cuz I'm chained To your love and affection. Chained cuz your love Is my only direction Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh. I've got to make it right Somehow it all went wrong Somewhere down the line The love I lost The love I gotta find Whoah! and it won't be long I've gotta make it right baby And carry you tenderly back home. I'm chained To your love and affection. Baby, chained to your love. When I hear your name How I tremble, how I tremeble, yeah. Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah. Now I admit that I Haven't been the perfect guy For a girl as sweet as you But my heart and soul cries out to you. One more chance that's all I need I'm gonna make it right, baby, Now you just stay won't you stay with me? Cuz I'm chained To your love and afection. Baby, I'm chained cuz your love Is my only direction. I'm chained
