Swinging from the Chains of Love Lyrics

(Wilson/Fearing)

I built a little love nest we set it on fire
Down came the tree that held our desire
Now there's no one home on this broken branch so I'm movin' on

[Chorus]
And I'm not done with these passionate chains
I'm draggin' them around town making such a sad sound
Baby
You better look out mama 'cause I'm so strung out
Swingin' from these chains of love

I've got a dirty little story if you really want to hear
About a dirty little bird that used to come around here
But the booze dried up and the car won't start so I'm movin' on

[Chorus]

Chains of love
Keeping me from the ground
Chains of love
Swingin' from these chains

I caught a little bird I grabbed her and kissed her
Boy was I surprised when I seen your sister
But when the sun goes down all cinnamon brown I'm movin' on

[Chorus]

Swingin' from the chains of love
Swingin' from the chains of love
Swingin' from the chains of love
