Alone from night to night youll find me,
Too weak to break the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles to remind me,
Im just a prisoner of love!
For one command I stand and wait now,
From one whos master of my fate now,
I cant escape for its too late now,
Im just a prisoner of love!
Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!
Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .
Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!
Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .
