I'm a prisoner here by your design And the key to the door Oh, I can't find Closin' in here, baby, are these four walls Not even a dime will you give me to make my one call I don't know what a man's supposed to do When the joy is gone Gone away from you Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock Can break the lock on these chains Chains of love I drag down the boulevard, this ball of steel And the ties that bind me, girl, are all too real I gotta go free like a bird up in the air Like a child in the schoolyard without a care Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock Can break the lock on these chains Ain't no spell, none I can tell Can take away these chains Ain't no how to get out Outta these chains of love Chains of love Look at the clock So much time I looked again and the hands are stopped Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock Can break the lock on these chains Ain't no spell, none I can tell Can take away these chains Ain't no how to get out Outta these chains of love Chains of love Outta these chains of love Chains of love
