Prisoner

(album: Woman In Flames - 1984)

In every life comes a time
There's a moment of truth
I'm no exception, this is mine
And I don't know what to do

Like a ghost, like a specter
You keep haunting my heart
On every side, ooh, on every level
I feel I'm falling apart

If you knew just how I feel
When I spend the night alone
You wouldn't lead me on this way
'Cause I'm chained to the telephone

I'm just a prisoner
Oh-oh, doing hard time
I'm just a prisoner
A victim of a tortured mind

You act tough, you say you're busy
I know better than that
I know you're scared, ooh, it makes me crazy
I feel I'm caught in a trap

I wish you knew just how I feel
I think about you all the time
My fantasies are far too real
I just can't get you off my mind

I'm just a prisoner
Oh-oh, doing hard time
I'm just a prisoner
A victim of a tortured mind

Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde
I seem to change overnight
This desire, ooh, I can't deny
I've got to have you, have you
Have you tonight

I wish you knew just how I feel
I think about you all the time
My fantasies are far too real
I can't get you off my mind, ow!

I'm just a prisoner
Oh-oh, doing hard time
I'm just a prisoner
A victim of a tortured mind, whoo!

I'm just a prisoner
Oh-oh, doing hard time
I'm just a prisoner
A victim of a tortured mind...
