Prisoner Lyrics by Cher

Prisoner

1979

[Chorus]
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
You got me chained up to your love
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
Someone better free me from these thoughts that I'm thinking of

[Verse 1]
Love to be in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
These walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought your love would threaten to hold me this way

[Chorus]
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
You got me chained up to your love
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
Someone gotta free me from these thoughts that I'm thinking of

[Verse 2]
All beaten and abused
Now I feel tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start
No one sees my broken heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought your love would threaten to hold me this way

[Guitar Solo]
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)

[Bridge]
(Wrapped up in your arms)
(Captive of your charms)
(Beaten and abused)
(Tied up, misused)
(These walls are much too high)
(I just wanna touch the sky)
(Pleased up from the start)
(No-one sees a broken heart)
(Can't escape your power)
(Getting weaker by the hour)
(You were such a wicked lover)
(But you did it like no other)

[Chorus]
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
I'm a prisoner for your love (Hey, hey)
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
Prisoner for your love (Hey, hey)
(Why did you be so wicked?)

[Verse 3]
Wrapped up in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
These walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky
Ooh baby I've been beaten and abused
Oh-oh-oh I've been tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start (From the start)
No one sees a broken heart (Sees a broken heart)
I can't escape your powers (Your powers)
I'm getting weaker by the hour (Weaker by the hour)
I was such a wicked lover (Wicked lover)
But you do it like no other

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought your love would threaten to hold me this way

[Chorus]
I'm your prisoner(Hey, hey)
Man, you got me chained up to your love (Got me chained up)
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
Someone better free me from these thoughts that I'm thinking of
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
You got me chained up to your love (Got me chained up)
I'm your prisoner (Hey, hey)
Someone come and free me from these thoughts that I'm thinking of

[Outro]
I never thought your love would threaten to hold me this way
