Lonnie Johnson - Prisoner Of Love (1967) lyrics

Alone from night to night you'll find me, too weak to break the chain that binds me;

I need no shackle to remind me that I'm just a prisoner of love.

For one command I stand and wait now, for one who's master of my fate now;

I can't escape, for it's too late now - for I'm just a prisoner of love.

What's the good of me caring, if someone else is sharing those arms with me?

Although she has another, and I can't have another, for I'm never free.

She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping; upon my knees to you darling I'm creeping;

My very life is in your keeping - for I'm just a prisoner of love.

What's the good of me caring, if someone else is sharing those arms with me?

Although she has another, and I can't have another, for I'm never free.

She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping, upon my knees to you my heart is weeping;

My very life is in your keeping - for I'm just a prisoner of love.
