[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains

[Verse 2: Lauren Evans]
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she’s fine, she’ll always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains

[Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal, Lauren Evans]
Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man’s deal
A poor man’s deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
Your eyes of steel
Well, it’s a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains, woah
Woman in chains
Woman in chains

[Verse 3: Lauren Evans, Roland Orzabal]
Trades her soul as skin and bone
You better love loving and you better behave
Sells the only thing she owns
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
The sun and the moon

[Interlude: Roland Orzabal]
Men of stone
Men of stone
Oh no, no, no, no

[Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal, Lauren Evans, Both]
Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can’t heal

That time can’t heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains

[Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal, Lauren Evans, Both]
It’s under my skin but out of my hands
I’ll tear it apart, but I won’t understand
Somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
I will not accept the greatness of man

[Interlude: Roland Orzabal, Lauren Evans]
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains

[Outro: Both, Roland Orzabal]
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
The sun and the moon
So free her
The wind and the rain
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
