Ain't no chains tied around my ankle
I ain't got no rope tied around my waist
'Cause if I wanted to go
Well, I could be about leavin'
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
I could have the Queen of Sheba
And she couldn't keep me, couldn't keep me satisfied
Well, I could pick and choose from a dozen ladies
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
Well, I wouldn't let my shirttail touch my back
If I thought there was somethin' better on down the track
Oh, but she don't have to worry if I stray
She knows her love, sweet love stands in my way
Whoo!
Oh, why in the world would I ever wanna mess around
When I know my woman's got the sweetest love in town?
Now she don't have to worry if I stray
She knows her love, sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chains tied around my ankle
Ain't got no rope tied around my waist
Oh, if I wanted to go
I could be about leavin'
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
Oh, I could have the Queen of Sheba
She couldn't keep me, couldn't keep me satisfied
Oh, I could pick and choose from a half a dozen ladies
Yes, I could, but her love, sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chains tied around my ankle
Ain't got no rope tied around my waist
And if I ever wanted to go
You know I could be about leavin'
Oh Lord, but her love, sweet love stands in my way
Oh, I could have, 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
But her love, sweet love stands in my way
Ain't got no chains tied around my ankle
Ain't got no rope tied all around my waist
You know if I wanted to go
Oh Lord, I would be right leavin'
