Lyrics of Prisoner by Mariah Carey

chorus

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)

verse

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

verse

Here comes the night
No more living in the shadow of your love
This is my life
Always tried so hard to keep me down
But now I'll rise above
Those empty lies
Stop pretending that my accusations
Take ya 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

chorus

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
Nooo baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

verse

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
Could change the way I feel inside

pre-chorus

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

chorus

(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

bridge

Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner
No
Mmmh
Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner

verse

So if you wanna be my love
You can't be a liar
Play around or when
You 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 dont think that I'll be strong enough
But I won't be a prisoner baby of your love
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more

chorus

No no, baby now
I won't be
(No no no)
Prisoner of your loooove
(Prisoner of your love)
(I'm just not) the girl you thought I was
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

outro

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 ooh
Cya... ooh
(Prisoner of your love)
Oooooh... hmm, yeah
Writer(s): Mariah Carey, Ben Margulies
