Prisoner of Love

I don't need shackles on my wrists
to remind me of the way I feel
the evidence is right in front of me

get on my knees and clench my fists
find a way to seal the deal
I can't let this get away from me

I'm an owner of a battered heart
who keeps coming back for more
no I'll never give up the fight

I'll read my lines play my part
I'll keep knocking on the door
eventually I know I'll get it right

I'm a prisoner of love
and that is just what I want
I wouldn't have it any other way
just a prisoner of love
lock me up and hide the key
I won't hide my feelings away

I have no need for an orange jump suit
it wouldn't look good on me
and I'll still know where I am

you know that your point is moot
you get exactly what you see
I won't hide my head like a clam
  
I'm a prisoner of love
and that is just what I want
I wouldn't have it any other way
just a prisoner of love
lock me up and hide the key
I won't hide my feelings away
