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
