Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Chains Lyrics

Carole King

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And the ain't the kind
that you can see
Woh, it's chains of love
got a hold on me, yeah
pa-lum-pa-lum-pa-lum-pa
Chains, well I can't break away from there chains
Can't run around
'cause I'm not free
Woh, these chains of love
Won't let me be, yeah
I wanna tell you pretty baby
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 the ain't the kind
that you can see
Woh, it's chains of love
got a hold on me, yeah
Please believe me when I tell you
your lips are 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 the ain't the kind
that you can see
Woh, it's chains of love
got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, chains of love
Chains of love, chains of love
