Lyrics
Heart In Chains
Words and Music By William Epps
I sit outside my step and watch the people walking
Yeah I sing a little song
I think about my friends ,
The one’s I’ve been avoiding
And I know I could be wrong
Chorus:
They keep tellin’ me I’m crazy
You know I’m crazy bout your thang
They say I’m different I don’t hang
And that they’re worried bout me
And there aint nothing, nobody I can blame cause
You make me feel I’ve got no reason.
Though I know I can’t explain
First you’re hot and then you’re freezing me out
You know it’s just your foolish game
You make me think I’ve got my freedom
Got my body and my brain
All tied up and you don’t need ‘em no no
All the while you’ve got my heart in chains
I remember we were young and rash
All my brothers and me
Hangin’ out late and talking trash
We only thought that we were free
Now I don’t mind me doing hard time
Cause now that that I know what your love’s about
I just here sittin’ here in solitary baby
And you don’t have to let me out, no.
(Chorus)
And when I think about our lives together
You know I never want to wait in vain
But I can’t see me with no body but you baby
So You can keep me wrapped up in your ball and chain
