Mariah Carey Lyrics
"Prisoner"

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I'm not gonna be the prisoner of your love
I know you're lyin', denyin'
All of your actions, so listen up
'Cause here's my reaction

Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
You always tried so hard to keep me down
But now I'll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations
Take you by surprise
I've realized
Now I'm ending all the secrecy
I see through your disguise

All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand, yes
So when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

No longer blind
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind
Don't believe it's all a mystery
There's nothing you can hide
It's all defined
There's nothing you can tell me now
To change the way I feel inside

All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand, yeah, yeah
So when the morning comes
You know that I'll be gone

(You don't think) that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
(I won't be) the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
I won't be the prisoner of your love
Of your
Love

Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner
No, mhm
Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner

So if you wanna feel my love
You can't be a liar
Play around and see me and then say
"Mariah I miss you"
Expect me to hug and kiss you?
Don't mean to diss' you
But I guess I'm not the kind of girl you thought I was
I've had enough and now I'll see ya later 'cause
Boy maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I won't be the prisoner, baby, of your love
No more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
(You don't think)

No, (mhm)
No more (mhm)
(Baby, now)
(I won't be)
No, no, no
The prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
(I'm just not)
The girl you thought I was, mm
Oh
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
Not gonna be
(I won't be)
The prisoner of your love
Yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Oh, baby, yeah

I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Cryin' 'cause your playin dirty all over town
You can't do that
I'm not a door mat
You're just a player
That's not my format

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Laugh) see ya..
Oh, ooh yeah
Ooh, mm, yeah
(Prisoner of your love)
