|
|
Alone from night to night you'll find me
|
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
|
I need no shackles to remind me
|
I'm just a prisoner of love
|
|
For one command I stand and wait now
|
From one who's master of my fate now
|
I can't escape for it's too late now
|
I'm just a prisoner of love
|
|
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
|
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free
|
|
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
|
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
|
My very life is in her keeping
|
I'm just a prisoner of love
|
|
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
|
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free
|
|
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
|
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
|
My very life is in her keeping
|
I'm just a prisoner of love
