Chained and Bound Lyrics by Otis Redding

Dreams To Remember: The Otis Redding Anthology

1964

[Verse 1]
Darling, hey now, you made me change my mind
Can't go no further, because you got me chained and bound, oh
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, right now, now
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Oh, I don't have to worry no more
Oh my my my
Baby, somebody, somebody
[Bridge]
What kind of life is this that I'm living?
Oh Lord, what kind of love is she trying to give me?
I feel like standing up and telling the word
I'm chained to your love
[Verse 2]
Darling, oh
Don't break this little heart of mine
There's no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh
You walk with your head in the sky
Darling, don't ever pass me by
I ain't going no further, 'cause you got me chained and bound, oh now
[Outro]
So glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad
Lord, I don't have to worry no more
Oh, she got me chained to her love
I don't, I don't want to be taken away
Lord, I'm chained, I'm chained and a little bound, now, now, now
I'm chained, I'm chained to your love
I don't, I don't know, darling, I wanna to be taken away, now
Ooh, just a little bit softer
Mmm, just a little bit softer now
Somebody, somebody, somebody
