Lyrics I Won't Try to Put Chains on Your Soul - Jackie DeShannon, Jackie De Shannon

I Won't Try to Put Chains on Your Soul

I was your shadow 'til the night came fallin'
Then it’s her
Go on and go if you’ve made up your mind
And it’s her you prefer
All this weepin' and a-waitin' that’s goin' on
I’m gonna let you go
'Cause I
Oh, I won’t try
I won’t try to put chains on your soul
If she’s your daybreak, your mornin' sun
And the light in my window is gone
If she’s the one that makes you feel like a man
Ah, baby, ain’t no use in me holdin' on
If what I got to give you
Ain’t enough to keep you home
Oh, I
Oh, I won’t try
I won’t try to put chains, chains on your soul
Whoa, baby, what I 'd do for you
I wouldn’t do it again
I’ll live without it
I’m really dyin' in the shape that I’m in
I know it’s a sin
But I can’t do a thing about it
Before you break up everything inside of me
Well, I’m gonna make it easy now
Gonna set you free, I mean
Set you free, ah, baby, 'cause I
Whoa, I, oh, I won’t try
Won’t try
I won’t try to put chains, chains on your soul
I won’t try chains on your soul
No, no, chains on your soul
There’ll be no chains, chains on your soul
I won’t try
I won’t try to put a chain, chain on your soul
No chain, chain on your soul
I won’t try
