 The Cookies, who were friends of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's babysitter, one
 "Little" Eva Boyd. After they wrote "The Loco-Motion" for her, they wrote this for her
 friends.

 Later covered by the Beatles as an album track in 1964 [Beatles Please Please Me CD]
 and also by co-songwriter Carole King in 1980 [Carole King Pearls CD].
 Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
 And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
 Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
 Got a hold on me, yeah
 Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
 I can't run around 'cause I'm not free-ee-ee-ee
 Whoa, oh, these chains of lo-o-ove
 Won't let me be, yeah
 Now, believe me when I tell you "I think you're fine"
 I'd like to love you but, darling, I'm imprisoned by these
 Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
 And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
 Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
 Got a hold on me, yeah
 I wanna tell you, pretty baby, "your lips look sweet"
 I'd like to kiss them but I can't break away from all of these
 Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
 And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
 Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
 Got a hold on me, yeah
 Chains, chains of lo-o-o-ove
 FADE
 Chains of lo-o-o-ove
