I've gotta run away from you
If I wanna save myself
And there's nothing I can do
To break your magic spell

Oh, you are evil
And you show it eith your eyes
Oh, and the way your body moves
Just keeps me hypnotized

'Cause I'm a prisoner of love
Someone rescue me
Release me from this state of mind
I was born to be free

Just a prisoner of love
Come on let me be
'Cause if loving you is my crime
Go on and close the door on me

Oh, I've been convicted
For the crime that has been done
But if losing you is my sentence
Id rather lose my life

Can someone help me?
Help me keep my sanity
'Cause I love this evil force
That's taking over me

'Cause I'm a prisoner of love
Someone rescue me
Release me from this state of mind
I was born to be free

Just a prisoner of love
Come on let me be
'Cause if loving you is my crime
Go on and close the door on me

'Cause I'm a prisoner of love
Someone rescue me
Release me from this state of mind
I was born to be free

Just a prisoner of love
Come on let me be
'Cause if loving you is my crime
Go on and close the door on me
