Don't look back Whatever it takes to save your life I've believed I belonged to you for a long time And my heart says no, no one but you Like a rescue on a darkened street Love walked into town I was a victim of my own self-persecution I'm a prisoner of love-but I'm coming up for air Now don't be fooled by fools who promise you The world and all that glitters more fool you I'm such a hungry man that I beg you over and over and over and over And I might take any highway to be there with you Even the best men shiver in their beds I'm loving you above everything I have I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square Like a sermon on a blues guitar Love walked into town I was drowning so slowly One step in front of your shadow I'm a prisoner of love but I'm coming up for air I smell the sickness sown in this city It drives me to hide you, yea, even deceive you I'm so afraid for you that I'll break any thug that maps out your passage to ruin Even the best men shiver in their beds I'm loving you above everything I have I'm a prisoner of love-just stay square
