It wasn't just your innocence No, it wasn't temptation It was just your own way Of placing the blame on me Stop thinking that it's all the name You keep trading your love for pain Someday her answer will come Because there ain't no way to escape [Chorus] Baby I'm a prisoner Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love The answer for your loneliness Is only frustration So you gave it all away By placing the blame on me Remember how it used to be Your lies won't that easily Something's wrong Why can't you see There ain't no way to escape [Chorus] It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love And misery Because I'm a prisoner Did my time so let me be Let me go Your holding me Someday her answer will come, you wait Something's wrong Why can't you see That there ain't no way to escape Escape [Chorus] Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love
