PRISONER OF LOVE 1931 I
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 PRISONER OF LOVE.
FOR ONE COMMAND
I STAND AND WAIT NOW.
FROM ONE WHO’S MASTER
OF MY FATE NOW.
I CANT ESCAPE FOR IT’S TOO LATE NOW;
I’M JUST A PRISONER OF LOVE.
WHAT’S THE GOOD OF MY CARING
IF SOMEONE IS SHARING
THOSE ARMS WITH ME?
ALTHOUGH HE HAS ANOTHER,
I CAN’T HAVE ANOTHER,
‘CAUSE I’M NOT FREE.
HE’S IN MY DREAMS
AWAKE OR SLEEPING.
UPON MY KNEES TO HIM I’M CREEPING.
MY VERY LIFE IS IN HIS KEEPING;
I’M JUST A PRISONER OF LOVE.
