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 . . .
