Lyrics
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
Don't let me be a prisoner
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
Don't let me be a prisoner
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms but not with me
Although she has another, and 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 my life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner
Don't let me be a prisoner
You made me a prisoner
And you made me love yah
Take those shackles of love go away
Cause i love you so much now
You, you, you, youuuuu
Made me a prisoner
