Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
Oh-wo-ah
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean
Oh, you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Every chain
Has got a weak link
I might be weak, child
But I'll give you strength, yeah
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "come on home"
My doctor said, "take it easy"
Oh, but your loving is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools
Oh, one of these mornings
The chain is gonna break
But up until then yeah
I'm gonna take all I can take, oh yeah
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Your chain of fools, oh
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain) Oh
Chain, chain, chain
Your chain of fools, oh yeah

An icon of 20th and 21st century music, the voice of the civil rights movement, and the undisputed Queen of Soulāthere is only one Aretha Franklin. In her incredible six-decade career, Aretha evolved from teenage gospel star to reigning pop and R&B diva, recording classics like ā(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,ā āChain Of Foolsā, āThinkā (lyrics by Aretha Franklin), definitive versions of the songs āRespectā and āI Say a Little Prayerā, and global hits like āFreeway Of Love,ā āI Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)ā, and āA Rose Is Still A Rose.ā
Altogether, 112 of her singles reached the charts, with 20 No. 1 R&B singles, the most ever by a female artist. She won 18 Grammy Awards (including the first eight trophies for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) and, out of recognition for her for indelible contribution to American music and culture, received both the Presidential Medal Of Freedom and a Pulitzer Pr
