Chain Of Fools
Covay Don Lyrics

Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Repeatedly emphasizing the word 'chain' to emphasize the bondage and restriction of her situation.

Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Referring to herself and others trapped in the same situation as 'fools' who are bound by the same chain.

Five long years I thought you were my man
She was in a long-term relationship and believed the man in question was committed to her.

But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
She discovered that she was just one in a long line of women being exploited and mistreated by the man.

You got me where you want me
Acknowledging that he has control over her and her life.

I ain't nothing but your fool
Recognizing that she has been deceived and manipulated by him.

You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Describing the man's actions towards her- cold, harsh, and heartless.

One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
She is hopeful that one day she will be free from this enslavement.

But up until then, yeah, I'm gonna take all I can take
She intends to remain strong and persevere despite the trauma she has faced.

Every chain has got a weak link
Every seemingly unbreakable situation has a point of vulnerability.

I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
Despite her perceived weakness, she is determined to find the strength to break free and move on.

You told me to leave you alone
He engaged in manipulation tactics to force her to withdraw from the situation.

My father said come on home
Her father was aware of the reality of the situation and advised her to leave and go to a safe place.

My doctor said take it easy
She was so affected by the abuse that it took a toll on her health and well-being.

Whole bunch of lovin' is much too strong
She recognizes that their relationship was unhealthy and toxic.

I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
She recognizes that she's just one of many in a long line of women.
