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 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 she has another,

I can't have another, for 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 of love . . .

What's the good of my caring,

if someone is sharing those arms with me!

Although she has another,

I can't have another, for 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 of love . . .
