Prisoner of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break these chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner
Don't let me be a prisoner

[Verse 2]
From 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

[Bridge]
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, I'm not free

[Verse 3]
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 (Prisoner of love)
[Outro]
You made me a prisoner (Prisoner of love)
And you made me love you (Prisoner of love)
Take the shackles of love and go away (Prisoner of love)
'Cause I love you so much, now (Prisoner of love)
You, you, you, you (Prisoner of love)
Made me a prisoner (Prisoner of love)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
