It's starts like a promise that you can't understand Then hits you like lighting and burns in your hand You think you can fight it and you think you can win But before you can get up, it's with you again You thought you could handle it all And you thought you were tough But the whole thing is out of control And you can't get enough You're a prisoner of love You're searching for cover, but where can you go? It walks like a shadow, won't leave you alone It stands there before you as you try to escape You beg it for mercy, it laughs in your face There's nowhere that's left you can hide You've been shot from above And the fever has got you inside And you can't get enough You're a prisoner of love You're a prisoner of love You're a prisoner of love And you can't understand How something so good can hurt you so bad A prisoner of love And it touches your soul and won't let you go You thought you could handle it all You thought you were tough But you barely know how to fall Because the whole thing is out of control And you can't get enough You're a prisoner You're a prisoner of love Ooh, can't get enough Prisoner of love Thought you could handle it all But you've been shot from above You ain't that tough You're a prisoner of love You've been shot from above Yeah, you're a prisoner of love Can't get enough You're a prisoner of love Been shot from above You can't handle it all Got the fever burnin' in your soul
