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 rules
  
   I'm just a Prisioner
   An inmate of love
   Oh I'm a Prisioner
   Captured by love
   With no escape
   No where to go
   No place to hide
   Hey, I'm a Prisioner!
   I'm just a Prisioner
  
   Mending 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 chain
  
   I'm just a Prisioner
   An inmate of love
   Oh I'm a Prisioner
   Captured by love
   With no escape
   No where to go
   No place to hide
   Hey, I'm a Prisioner!
   I'm just a Prisioner
  
   Oh 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 last
  
   I'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
