[Verse 1]
Just like a prisoner
He don't know right from wrong
Just like a baby
He sings a pleading song

[Chorus]
And that's why so many tears must fall
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall

[Verse 2]
Just like a sailor
He steers away from home
He feels a tidal wave in his heart
But he is not alone

[Chorus]
And that's why so many tears must fall
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall

[Verse 3]
I am like that prisoner
I don't know right from wrong
Just like that baby
I sing a pleading song

[Outro]
And that's why you'll never know how I feel
Yes, that's why you'll never know how I feel
