Chains Lyrics

With her wine-stained lips, yeah she’s nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but she’s warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can’t get more

You got me in Chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Alone in the night ‘til she knocks on my door (Oh no)
Oh no, wasted again but I can’t say no (No)
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

You got me in chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (I wouldn’t change), no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change (Wouldn't change), no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey) Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

(Hey hey hey hey)
(You got me in) Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul (Hey)

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love
You got me chains (Oh babe), you got me in chains for your love (Oh)
But, I wouldn’t change, no I wouldn’t change this love

Tryin'a break the chains but the chains only break me

Chains

This R&B leaning cut finds Nick Jonas singing about being trapped in a hopeless love. He explained: "The story behind 'Chains' is basically that feeling that all people can relate to, it's being trapped."

"For me specifically in this song, I connected to love and trust and for some people they have said it's broader for them," Nick added, "it's more than love, it can be about anything that entangles you in your life and doesn't let you do what you need to do to feel free."

The song was produced by Jason Evigan, whose previous credits include Nick Jonas's friend Demi Lovato's hit single "Heart Attack."

The song's music video was co-directed by Nick Jonas with Ryan Pallotta (Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato). It was filmed at Los Angeles' historic Hotel Alexandria, which has also served as the location for Dreamgirls, Water for Elephants and Se7en. Dylan Penn, who is the daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, plays Nick's love interest in the steamy clip, "It's basically a surreal world that we've created where the heart and emotion and heart of the song are tied into a really beautiful visual," the singer told MTV News.

Nick Jonas launched his eponymous second studio album with this song. He explained to Billboard magazine: "'Chains' was a bridge between what people had heard from me in the past and what was coming. This leans more toward alternative R&B, neo-soul."

Nick Jonas teamed up with directors Black Coffee and artist Peter Tunney, who directed the "Jealous" clip for a second, lighter video. The visual finds Jonas heading down to an outdoor party at the famed Wynwood Walls graffiti art gallery in Miami. Once inside the bash we see him dancing with his fellow-party goers then later performing for them.

Chains Lyrics

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me. Yeah!

Chains, well I can't break away from these chains,
Can't run around 'cause I'm not free.
Whoa, these chains of love won't let me be. Yeah!

Now believe me when I tell you I think you're fine.
I'd like to hold 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.
Whoa, it's chains of love 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 these
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, Yeah!

Chains Song Chart

This was written by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The previous year, two songs the duo wrote when to #1 in America: "Take Good Care Of My Baby" by Bobby Vee, and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles.

This was the Cookies' first pop hit. One year after this became a hit, it earned a special place in music history when the Beatles covered it for their album Please Please Me with lead vocals by George Harrison. The Beatles' version of this song gained popularity quite quickly because of the band's frequent performances on numerous BBC radio shows. (thanks, Airk - Skagway, AK and Jerro - New Alexandria, PA)

The Cookies formed in the '50s, and had an R&B hit in 1956 with "In Paradise." Soon after, Ray Charles hired all the members except Earl-Jean McCrea as his backup singers, The Raelettes. She kept the name, formed a new group and had several hits with this version of The Cookies, including "Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys" and "Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby)." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Little Eva sang backup. She was a babysitter for Gerry Goffin and Carole King, who turned her into a star when they had her record "The Loco-Motion." Goffin has explained that when "Chains" was being rehearsed, he felt that something was missing. He pulled in Little Eva, who was The Cookies' other Dimension Records labelmate, to sing backup and was very happy with the results. He said that she provided the song with the sullen edge it needed.

In his book Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards , Al Kooper cites this as an example of how many songs attributed to the "Brill Building sound" actually came from the building at 1650 Broadway: "Aldon Music, the hottest song-publishing concern of the early sixties and perhaps of all time, dominated 1950's action. Ironically, as I mentioned before, much of what today is called 'the Brill Building sound' actually originated at 1650 right in Aldon's offices!... In 1962, Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Neil Sedaka, Howie Greenfield, Helen Miller, and numerous others competed for space at Aldon's piano to compose the hits that would monopolize the airwaves. Even the Beatles recorded Aldon songs when they first started out."
