Chain Letter Lyrics


Kim Carnes Chain Letter

Oh no, I read what you wrote, feels like chains to me
You keep me tied up, with your talk about love
That never sets us free, when I read what you say
I hear desperation in every cliche, you tell me to break

Chain
I read your letter and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you

I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you

Goodbye you said "Goodbye"
You hurt me so bad
(You hurt me hurt me so much more than you could)
Then you come back

And I hear your steps in the hall and a letter under the door
When I read what you say
(You say "We've made a terrible mistake")
We've made a terrible mistake, and it's more than I can take

(Chain)
I read your letter, and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me to you

I read your letter
(Chain, chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me

By now all the sweet things, you're begging to say
Are just marks on a page
I hear calculation, I hear desperation
And I hear you tell me to break

I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me to you

I read your letter
(It's a Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain letter)
And it feels like chains
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you

I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)

I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you

I read your letter
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you

(I hear desperation)
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
I read your letter
