Chains can't hold me walls can't stop me nothing can hold me back when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby
Just like back in the day when I could be put to the test nothing can stand in my way I've been tried and I still love you the best nothing that can put where I stand my foundation so strong I'm detaling not even a team of men on horses can stop me now or hold me back nothing, nothing
Chains can't hold me walls can't stop me nothing can hold me back when I'm trying to get to you baby (bay, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby
You are all of the things that I want in a woman so forget all of your cares and let me love you from head to toe there's nothing made that can stop me just like the U.S.
Mail I'll get to you through rain or snow twelve below zero, zero
Chains can't hold me walls can't stop me nothing can hold me back when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby
When I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
when I'm trying to get to you baby (baby, baby)
Chains can't hold me walls can't stop me nothing can hold me back when I'm trying to get to you baby, baby, baby, when I'm trying to hold you baby, baby, baby when I'm trying to love you baby, baby, baby chains can't hold me baby, baby walls can't stop me baby, baby nothing can hold me back
