Chained
Unbreakable Love: Marvin Gaye's Heartfelt Reflections
Lyrics
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement with emphasis
Seems just yesterday you were in my arms
Reflecting on a past moment when the person was close
And in a special way you touched my heart with all your charms
Describing how the person touched their heart with charm
And now you're gone
Not present anymore or departed
Oh and I find myself
Realizing solitude or being alone
Honey, I'm all alone there's no love left
Feeling devoid of love or affection
I don't want a thing
Not desiring anything
For you I've always cared
Always cared deeply for the person addressed
I did all I know to win your love and make it so
Putting in all effort to win love and make it last forever
You'd always stay for eternity
Wanting the love to endure eternally
Honey what could I say
Expressing inability to find words
I'm telling you how could, how could you do me this way
Questioning how the person could treat them this way
'Cause I'm chained to your love, baby
Feeling emotionally bound or tied to the love of the person
Girl I'm chained to your love and affections
Expressing being bound to both love and affection of the person
I've got to make it right
Feeling the need to correct a situation
Somehow it all went wrong
Recognizing a mistake or a deviation from the right path
Somewhere down the line I loved and lost
Acknowledging a loss in love at some point
Still I've got to find and it won't be long
Determined to find a solution or the right path soon
Gonna make it right, baby
Intent on setting things right
And carry you tenderly back home
Desiring to bring the person back lovingly
'Cause I'm chained to your love
Reiterating being emotionally tied to the person's love
'Cause I'm chained to your love
Re-emphasizing the emotional attachment to the person's love
I tremble, girl I tremble
Experiencing trembling or nervousness
Oh you know, you know
Reinforcing acknowledgment of understanding
Baby oh baby
Endearment and pleading for attention
Now I admit that I've never been the perfect guy
Admitting imperfection in past actions
For a girl that's sweet as you but my heart and soul cries out to you
Expressing a strong emotional connection despite flaws
I'm gonna make it right, baby
Determined to correct the situation
If you stay, stay with me
Requesting the person to stay and be together
'Cause I'm chained, cause I'm chained
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally bound or tied
'Cause I'm chained to your love
Re-emphasizing emotional bondage to the person's love
Baby, I'm chained
Confirming the emotional tie to the person
