Chain Me

(album: Never Let Her Go - 1975)

I lay awake at night and thinking how I'm gonna get into you
I pray with all my mind I'm gonna do it right and get on through you
I think I'm 'bout insane and I don't know I can stand the strain
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me

How come you're the only one who makes me feel this way I do about you
I've always been lazy now I'm crazy when I am without you
And you lit the flame and I'm not about to take the blame
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me

You started the fire and taught me desire
For chains cannot bind the feelings that burn in my mind

Now here I am beside you, I can't hide the way my body's shaking
The way my heart is pounding, man, it's sounding like it's gotta be breaking
I tried to stop and wait, but it's like trying to stop a big freight train
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me
And if you wanna keep me away I think you're gonna have to chain me
