chains tied around my ankle
Well, I could be about leavin'
sweet love stands in my way
And she couldn't keep me,
couldn't keep me satis fied
Well, I could pick and choose
sweet love stands in my way
Well, I wouldn't let my shirttail touch
If I thought there was somethin' better
Oh, but she don't have to
sweet love stands in my way
Oh, why in the world would I ever
When I know my woman's got the
sweet love stands in my way
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
couldn't keep me satis fied
Oh, I could pick and choose from
Yes, I could, but her love,
sweet love stands in my way
And if I ever wanted to go
You know I could be about leavin'
sweet love stands in my way
I could have the Queen of Sheba
But you know somethin'? She
would never keep me satisfied
You know I could pick and
choose from a dozen ladies
sweet love stands in my way
You know if I wanted to go
Oh Lord, I would be right leavin'
