Prisoner of Love (Edit)

Don't look back

Whatever it takes to save your life

I've believed I belonged to you for a long time

And my heart says no, no one but you

Like a rescue on a darkened street

Love walked into town

I was a victim of my own self-persecution

I'm a prisoner of love-but I'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you

The world and all that glitters more fool you

I'm such a hungry man that I beg you over and over and over and over

And I might take any highway to be there with you

Even the best men shiver in their beds

I'm loving you above everything I have

I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square

Like a sermon on a blues guitar

Love walked into town

I was drowning so slowly

One step in front of your shadow

I'm a prisoner of love but I'm coming up for air

Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you

The world and all that glitters more fool you

I smell the sickness sown in this city

It drives me to hide you, yea, even deceive you

I'm so afraid for you that

I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin

Even the best men shiver in their beds

I'm loving you above everything I have

I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
