Chained And Bound Lyrics

Darling, you make me change my mind
Can't go no further
Cause you got me chained and bound
Taller than the tallest pine
Sweeter than a grape on a vine now
Can't go no further
Because you got me chained and bound

So glad I'm so glad so glad
I don't have to worry no more
Oh my my my baby somebody somebody
What kind of life is this that I'm living?
What kind of love is this you're trying to give me?
I feel like standing up and telling the world
I'm chained to your love

Darling don't break this little heart of mine
There's no greater love than this love of yours and mine
Walk with your head in the sand
Darling don't ever pass me by
I ain't going no further
'Cuz you got me chained and band

I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad
Lord I don't have to worry no more
Oh you got me chained to her love
You know I don't want to be taken away
I'm chained I'm chained to your love
I don't want to be taken away
Oh got a little bit softer
A little bit softer now
SOmebody somebody

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
