Chains of love have tied my heart to you
Chains of love have made me feel so blue
Well now I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you gonna do
Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
These chains are gonna haunt me until the day I die
Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me free?
Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me free?
I can't bear these chains that bind me
Unless you're here with me
Well it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is shinin' bright
Yes it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is shinin' bright
I just sit and wonder
Where can you be tonight?
