You better love loving and you better behave You better love loving and you better behave Woman in chains Woman in chains Calls her man The Great White Hope Says she's fine She'll always cope Ooh Woman in chains Woman in chains 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 Woman in chains Trades her soul as skin and bone (You better love loving and you better behave) Sells the only thing she owns (You better love loving and you better behave) Ooh, ooh Woman in chains (The Sun and the Moon) Woman in chains Men of stone! Men of stone! Hey, baby No, no, ooh Well, I feel deep in your heart There are wounds time can't heal (Wounds time can't heal) And I feel somebody, somewhere Is trying to breathe You know what I mean It's a world gone crazy Keeps woman in chains 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 of man It's a world gone crazy Keeps woman in chains Gone crazy 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

Oleta Adams, que ficou famosa depois da colaboração, foi descoberta tocando em um lounge de hotel em Kansas City durante a turnê *Songs from the Big Chair* da banda, quando Roland Orzabal ficou impressionado com sua voz.
A bateria de Phil Collins, que já era um renomado artista solo, foi contratada especificamente para dar um impacto mais dramático à crescente da música, resultando em um som mais “punchy” nos clímax da faixa.
Apesar de não ter chegado ao top 10, “Woman in Chains” alcançou o número 26 na parada britânica e o número 36 nos Estados Unidos, consolidando-se como um dos singles mais respeitados do álbum *The Seeds of Love*.
A letra, que descreve a opressão feminista e os efeitos do patriarcado nos homens, foi adotada por movimentos feministas como símbolo de resistência, sendo citada em manifestos e eventos que defendem a igualdade de gênero.
O vídeo da música, que enfatiza visualmente o tema de cadeias simbólicas, ganhou aclamação crítica por sua representação poderosa da luta contra a opressão e ajudou a ampliar a mensagem social da faixa.
Desde a sua estreia, “Woman in Chains” tem sido incluída em concertos ao vivo da banda, com Adams frequentemente se juntando ao palco para cantar seu papel, mantendo a canção como peça central em performances acústicas e ao vivo.
