I'd rather be lonely than to lose you
And I'd rather be blue than to be all alone
But if you should leave me, my heart would grieve me
And I couldn't stand for you to say goodbye

I'm just a prisoner for your good lovin'
I'm just a slave and I'm bound and chained
I don't wanna be free, please don't ever leave me
My little heart, no, it won't stand the pain

Though your love has got me in captivity
Yet if you should leave me, I know I will die
In other words, in other words, I couldn't take it, baby
I couldn't stand for you to say goodbye

I'm just a prisoner for your good lovin'
I'm just a slave and I'm bound and chained
I don't wanna be free, so please don't ever leave me
My little heart, no, it won't stand the pain

Oh, I'm just a prisoner for your good lovin'
I'm just a slave and I'm bound and chained
I don't wanna be free, please don't ever leave me
My, my little heart, no, it won't stand the pain

Oh, I'm just a prisoner for your good lovin'
I'm just a slave and I'm bound and chained
I don't wanna be free, please don't ever leave me
My little heart, no, it won't stand the pain
