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.
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothin' but your fool
You treated me mean
Ooh, you treated me cruel

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

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

You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "Come on home"
My doctor said, "Take it easy"
But your lovin' is much too strong
I'm welded to your...

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

One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then I'm gonna take all I can take

(repeat and fade):
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
