I just want to seek your love
And you to call my name
But I'm tied to another heart
Like a ball and chain
Shackled to a touch
That's as cold as steel
And all I need is for you to say to me
That our love is real to break these chains

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains

You have opened my eyes
And I've finally seen
Love turns to a tie that binds when it's judgemeny day
She is not my lover
She's just a prison door
Say the words you know will turn me loose
I can't take this pain no more
Break these chains

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains

Straps so tight they're cutting me
Cuts so deep they make my heart bleed
Only you could set me free
All it takes is your touch
To break these chains

- guitar solo -

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never never be the same

Oh lord - break these chains
Never never never never never going back
I don't wanna go back - no
Oh lord - break these chains
