Prisoner Lyrics by Dokken

Back for the Attack

0

It wasn't just your innocence
No, it wasn't temptation
It was just your own way
Of placin' the blame on me

Stop thinkin' that it's all in vain
You keep tradin' your love for pain
Someday an answer will come
'Cause there ain't no way to escape

Baby, I'm a prisoner, oh
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love
Chained by love

The answer for your loneliness
Was only frustration
So you gave it all away
By placin' the blame on me

Remember how it used to be
Your lies won't die that easily
Something's wrong, why can't you see?
There ain't no way to escape

Baby, I'm a prisoner, oh
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love
Chained by love

It's so easy to see
I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love

Hold my heart in misery
'Cause I'm a prisoner
Did my time, so let me be
Let me go
You're hurtin' me

Someday an answer will come your way
Something's wrong, why can't you see
That there ain't no way to escape, escape?

Baby, I'm a prisoner, oh
Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love
Chained by love

It's so easy to see
I could never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love
