Píseň: Chains Of Love

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Mr. Soul
chains of love
 have tied my heart to you
 chains of love
 have made me feel so blue
 now that I'm your prisoner
 tell me what you're gonna do


 what I wanna know is
 are you gonna leave me
 are you gonna make me cry
 tell me baby
 are you gonna leave me
 are you gonna make me cry
 the chains are gonna haunt me
 until the day I die


 let me tell you right now
 if you're gonna leave me
 please wont you set me free, pretty baby
 if you're gonna leave me
 please wont you set me free
 cause I can't stand these chains around me
 unless you're here with me


 in conclusion let me tell you honey
 it's three o'clock in the morning
 and o, the moon is shining bright
 one more time now
 three o'clock in the morning
 the moon is shining bright
 and O I just sit and wonder
 where can you be again tonight
