I have to say that I'd never heard this song before, which is surprising as my best friend had, I thought, made me listen to all of the Beatles songs ever. 'Chains' makes me think of all the times that I liked a boy and I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't stop. Richard. Nick. Luke. Zack. All just names to you, but to me they're people. And more than that, they're moments in my life that I overcame moments and grew into a better person.
Into someone that knows what she doesn't want. Someone that knows that it's not okay for someone to make you feel bad just for existing. Yes, I do go after the same type of guy, but one day this type of guy isn't going to be a jerk and I'll be the best person I can be for them.
Chains by The Beatles.
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.
Chains, well I can't break away from these chains.
Can't run around, 'cause I'm not free.
Whoa, oh, 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, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these...
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains,
And they ain't the kind that you can see,
Oh, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me.
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 of these...
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains.
And they ain't the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.
Chains, chains of love...

Just fyi, "Boys" is a cover too--of Ringo's favourite girl band.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome when stuff like this, liking the wrong type of guy, can make us change. Keep growing. :)
