Fantasia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord for five long years
See you were my man
Chain of Love
Oh I had it bad
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
Oh chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain, chain,
Oh chain of fools

You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean yeah
Oh you treated me cruel
Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child
But I'll give you strength
Oh chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain, chain,
Chain of fools

You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Oh but your lovin is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain,
Oh chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain,
Chain of fools

One of these mornings
That chain is gonna break
But up until then, yeah yeah
I'm gonna take all I can take
Oh yeah yeah chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain, chain,




Chain, chain, chain,
Chain of fools

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fantasia's song Chain Of Fools talk about a woman who was in a relationship with a man for five years, during which time she thought that she was his woman, but in reality, she was just another link in his chain of women. She is heartbroken to discover that he was not faithful to her and that his love for her was not genuine. The woman is trapped in the relationship and cannot seem to break free from the chain of love that has bound her to this man. She feels like a "fool" for allowing herself to be used in this way but cannot escape his hold on her. She knows that she is a weak link in his chain, but she is determined to find the strength to break free and take control of her own life. The song ends with the hope that someday, the chain of love will break, and she will be free.
