Every time in my life when things begin to glow, there comes a change and back downhill I go
It was only yesterday, when he promised to be mine
But now I can see, oh yes, I can see that there's too many
There's too many ties that binds
Oh yes, it is

Every time when happiness comes my way, along comes misery and destroy my whole day
I once was blind but now I can see, I can see, oh yes I can see
That there's, there's too many ties that binds
Oh yes, it is

I cross my heart, hope to die
Each time I think about my life, I want to cry
That's why I'm singin' that there's too many ties that binds (To many ties that binds...)
To many ties that binds (Too many ties that binds...)
Oh! To many ties that binds (To many ties that binds...)
Too many, too many ties that binds...
