Prisoner of love

Lena Horne


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 can't escape it's much 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 for I'm not free 

He's in my dreams awake or sleeping 
Upon my knees to him I'm creeping 
My very soul is in his keeping 
I'm just a prisoner of love
