Her arms are cold but still she holds me to  

that vow.

What once was love is now a prison wall.

And though I’d break away to meet you anyhow. 
  G                                    C

If a woman answers, hang up the phone.

I love, you but darling, I’m not free.

The chains that bind this heart of mine may never  

break. 
    G                                     C 
But they can’t stop my heart from wanting you.
