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

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
