It's starts like a promise that you can't understand
Then hits you like lighting and burns in your hand
You think you can fight it and you think you can win
But before you can get up, it's with you again
You thought you could handle it all
And you thought you were tough
But the whole thing is out of control
And you can't get enough
You're a prisoner of love
You're searching for cover, but where can you go?
It walks like a shadow, won't leave you alone
It stands there before you as you try to escape
You beg it for mercy, it laughs in your face
There's nowhere that's left you can hide
You've been shot from above
And the fever has got you inside
And you can't get enough
You're a prisoner of love
You're a prisoner of love
You're a prisoner of love
And you can't understand
How something so good can hurt you so bad
A prisoner of love
And it touches your soul and won't let you go
You thought you could handle it all
You thought you were tough
But you barely know how to fall
Because the whole thing is out of control
And you can't get enough
You're a prisoner
You're a prisoner of love
Ooh, can't get enough
Prisoner of love
Thought you could handle it all
But you've been shot from above
You ain't that tough
You're a prisoner of love
You've been shot from above
Yeah, you're a prisoner of love
Can't get enough
You're a prisoner of love
Been shot from above
You can't handle it all
Got the fever burnin' in your soul
