Verse 1
You better love loving and you better behave
You bet ter love loving and you

Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Verse 2
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Ohh, woman in chains
Woman in chains
Verse 3
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

Oh oh oh oh oh
Woman in chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns,
oh oh
Woman in chains

Men of stone
Men of stone
Oh, no no no
Verse 7
Well I feel
Deep in your heart there are
wounds time can't heal
And I feel
Somebody some where
is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Verse 8
It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but
I won't understand
I will not accept the greatness
Verse 9
of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps a woman in chains
Verse 10
Gone crazy, keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
Outro 1
So free her
Tears for Fears recorded Woman in Chains in 1988, during a session at Townhouse Studios. The song was released as the second single from The Seeds of Love, the group's third album. The lead vocals are by Oleta Adams, who also had a solo career. In 1992, the song was re-released with a different B-side and was credited as Tears for Fears featuring Oleta Adams. The recording was direct, without overdubs or jamming. David Bascombe, who mixed it, called it amazing. The song includes a touch of Phil Collins on drums, recalling the style of In the Air Tonight. The lyrics, written by Roland Orzabal, speak about an unequal power relationship and how masculinity affects both sexes. Orzabal linked it to his mother, who lived through a situation of domestic violence. The song became a feminist anthem, although the artist saw it as a way of processing emotions.
