i m just a prisioner of your good lovin

Candi Staton

I d rather be lonely
Than to lose you
I d rather be blue
Than to be all alone

Cause if you leave me
My heart would grieve me
And my poor heart, no, no
Just couldn t stand the pain

Though your love
Has got me in captivity, yeah
Yet if you should leave me
I know I would die

Yeah, in other words
In other words, listen
I just couldn t take it, baby
I couldn t stand
For you to say goodbye

Now I m just a prisoner
For your good loving
I m just a slave, yes
Bound and chained

No, no, I don t ever wanna be free
So please don t ever leave me

For my poor heart (my poor heart)
No, it just couldn t stand the pain
(Stand the pain)
Though your love
Oh, yeah, got me in captivity
Yet if you should leave me
I know I would die

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In other words, in other words
I just couldn t take it, baby
I couldn t stand, ho
To say goodbye (say goodbye)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I m just a prisoner, oh
For your good loving, yes, I am
Yes, I m just a slave (slave)
Bound and chained
(Bound and chained)

No, no, no, no
I don t ever wanna be free
Oh, no, so don t ever leave me
For my poor heart (my poor heart)
Just couldn t stand the pain
(Stand the pain)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I m just a prisoner
(I m just a prisoner)
Just a prisoner

I done tried
I done tried and
I can t live without him...
