Chains Are No Match (For the Woman) Lyrics

My sister told me that you were my soulmate

In the middle of the night, when you were getting on my case

It seems then my apologies all went to waste

Since I shouldn't've said I'm sorry in the first place

Ah ah ah

You made me think I had your heart

But strings were attached

You're smart enough to realize nobody taught me that

Words my friend are one thing, but showing when it matters

Wasn't your superpower

But loving you was mine

You got your credentials

You're total perfection

The portrait of a boy I'd like to raise, did I mention?

But under that picture

You're callous and vain

And then you try to hold me down and I'm all like

Chains are no match for the woman

Baby don't you think they've all tried before

Blame it on the girl with opinions

Running away cause I've got something to say and I'll say it loud

They won't listen cause they're too proud

Tryin to keep me back

But baby baby baby baby

Your chains are no match

Adolescent love, so easy to break

You shattered me with promises and love you deemed as fake

When you said it seems I've changed

And I caused all the pain

And I'm the one who pays

But this time I'm not staying

And you don't like that I'm free

That there's no lifetime guarantee

Of my devotion to you

And all that you do

And all that you had in store for me

Your pride, you'll find it isn't binding

No matter how hard you try

You got your credentials

You're total perfection

I wish I didn't miss your flaws and subtle pretension

Your arrogance embarrasses yourself not to mention

You use the wrong fucking "you're" in a sentence

Chains are no match for the woman

Baby don't you think they've all tried before

Blame it on the girl with opinions

Running away, cause I've got something to say, and I'll say it loud

They won't listen cause they're too proud

Tryin to keep me back

But baby baby baby baby

Your chains are no match

But I loved you

If only I had tried to

Put aside my reservations

And give into your endless accolades

Maybe I want to be saved

I cant even say it with a straight face

2 3 4

Chains are no match for the woman

Baby don't you think they've all tried before

Blame it on the girl with opinions

Running away, cause I've got something to say, and I'll say it loud

They won't listen cause they're too proud

Tryin to keep me back

But baby baby baby baby

Baby baby baby

Baby baby baby

Your chains are no match
