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 pris'ner 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 pris'ner of lo-ove



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 pris'ner of lo-ove



[spoken:]

Ah, what's the good of my caring

If somebody else is sharing those arms with me

'Though you have another

I can't have another

'Cause you see honey, 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 pris'ner - of love...
