Cold hard labor, it's a labor of love
Convicted of crimes, the crimes of passion
Caught in a chain gang, the chain of fools
Solitary confinement, confined by the rulesI'm just a prisioner, an inmate of love
Oh I'm a prisioner captured by love
With no escape nowhere to go, no place to hide
Hey, I'm a prisioner! I'm just a prisionerMending the wounds, the wounds of lament
The knife cut deep, deep into my heart
The romance is over, my passions remain
Still bound to love by this ball and chainI'm just a prisioner, an inmate of love
Oh I'm a prisioner captured by love
With no escape nowhere to go, no place to hide
Hey, I'm a prisioner! I'm just a prisionerOh I'm a prisioner, hey I'm a prisioner!Find an escape, a key to the door
I gotta get out, can't take anymore
Make a clean break, to bury the past
I'll shed these chains and be free at lastI'm just a prisioner, a prisioner of love
I'm just a prisioner, a prisioner of love
Hey, I'm a prisioner, I'm just a prisioner
