Prince & The New Power Generation - 3 Chains O' Gold lyrics

[Verse 1] If i don't think about the fact that she left me If i don't see the pearls fall from the sky If i don't hear the accusations of blasphemy If i don't feel the tears in my eyes This is the best day of my life You say you'll call me and then and then you don't I'll want to kiss you and then i won't We both do nothing and call it love Is this love? Is this love? This morning i wanted a cup of coffee But i didn't have any cream Last night i wanted some inspiration But i didn't have any dreams Coupled with the fact that you belong to another Whose name is self-righteousness So evil girl, if one of us has a date With the undertaker, which one will it be? U can cry forever, but you'll get no sympathy This is the best day of my life [Chorus] I've got 3 chains o' gold And they will shine forever They are the nucleus of my soul Melt down, no, they will never [x2] [Verse 2] Give back the chains - if you don't you will die Nothing should come between you and i [Chorus] I've got 3 chains o' gold And they will shine forever If one of us has to go You will go before me [Verse 3] If one of us has to go (3 chains o' gold) U will go before me (3 chains o' gold) U will go before me, baby (they will shine forever) Cause i sure enough say you will [Outro] (3 chains o' gold) (You will go before me) (You will go before me) (You will go before me) (You will go before me) I've got 3 chains o' gold They gonna shine... Forever, forever, forever (3 chains o' gold)
