Chains of love have tied my heart to you.
Chains of love have made me feel so blue.
Well, now I'm just a prisoner,
Tell me what are you gonna do.
Are you gonna leave me?
Are you gonna make me cry?
Are you gonna love me?
Are you gonna make me cry?
These chains of blues gonna haunt me,
Until the day I die.
Well, if you're gonna leave me,
Please won't you set me free.
Well, if you're gonna leave me,
Please won't you set me free.
I can't stay here with these chains,
Unless you gon' stay right here with me.
It's three o'clock in the morning,
Baby, yeah, the moon is shining bright.
Yeah, it's three o'clock in the morning,
And the moon is shining bright.
I'm just sittin' here wondering,
Where can you be tonight?
