Chains of love Has tied my heart to you Chains of love Have made me feel so blue Well, now I'm your prisoner Tell me what you're 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 Less'n you stay on here with me Well, three 'o clock in the morning Baby the moon is shining bright Yeah, three 'o clock in the morning The moon is shining bright I'm just sitting here wondering Where can you be tonight.
