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, don't let me be a prisoner

For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner, don't let be a prisoner

What's the good of my caring if someone
Is sharing those arms but not with me
Although she has another and I can't have
Another for I, I'm not free

She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her, I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner
