You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long with a two ton anchor

I can't move my arms to hold nobody
Hold nobody but you
I can't move my legs to chase nobody
To kick nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor

I can't move my eyes to see nobody
See nobody but you
I can't move my tongue to taste nobody

I can't move my lips to kiss nobody
Kiss nobody but you
I can't move my heart to love nobody

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor

You got me tied, tied
Tied tied
Don't you know you got me tied, tied
Tied tied, baby don't you know you got me
Tied, tied
Tied, tied
You got me tied, tied
Tied, tied, baby don't you know you got me
Tied, tied
Tied, tied
You got me tied, tied
Tied, tied
