I wait outside in the middle of the night

I watch your window 'til the morning light

A poor boy dreams about a rich girl's touch

I know I should run away, but I need you so much



Tell me, how long, how long will it be, will it be

You want me to hold on, just hold on, and you'll see

That in the middle of the night, I'll be waiting



Chorus:

Chained, chained - I've been chained to your rhythm

Locked up in the heat of desire, but it feels so right

Chained, chained - you're the reason for living

You got to help me, I'm on fire



You say you want a rich man, you say I'm not your kind

But when you get the need babe, you call me every time

I'm not gonna take it, it's a living hell

I don't know if it's day or night, I'm just caught in your spell



Tell me how long, baby how long will it be, will it be

You want me to hold on, just hold on, and you'll see

That in the middle of the night, I'll be waiting



chorus (with "but it feels so strong")



(Instrumental break)



Maybe tomorrow, maybe you'll realize

When you play with emotion, you'd better think twice

You'll look around and wonder, but you can't explain

How it happened to you, when you're wrapped up in my chains



Tell me how long, how long will it be, will it be

I tell you to hold on, hold on, and you'll see

That in the middle of the night, yeah in the middle of the night

You'll be screaming



chorus (without "I'm on fire")



I've been chained, chained, oh yeah

Chained to your rhythm, to your rhythm of love

I've been chained, chained, chained to your rhythm of love



(Chained, chained) (repeats out)
