Oh, not gonna be a prisoner
I’m not one of those girls who’ll wait around
(Prisoner of your love)
You can’t be all wild, play up when
All the dreams we planned
Stop pretending that my accusations, take you by surprise
But I won’t be a prisoner baby of your love
There’s nothing you can tell me now
I won’t be the prisoner of your love
No, baby now
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I’ve realized
This is my life
So when the morning comes, you know that I’ll be gone
No more living in the shadow of your love
Boy make me know that I’ll be strong enough
Not gonna be a prisoner
No, baby now
All the dreams we planned
Here comes the night
You don’t think that I’ll be strong enough
I understand, yeah
Don’t wanna be a prisoner
I don’t wanna be a prisoner, no
(Prisoner of your love)
I don’t wanna be a prisoner
So when the morning comes, you know that I’ll be gone
You can’t do that, I’m not a door mat
(Prisoner of your love)
I’m just not the girl you thought I was
But I guess I’m not the kind of girl you thought I was
I know you’re lyin’, denyin’
'Cause here’s my reaction
I understand the answer
No longer blind
I believed so I held on
Don’t believe it’s all a mystery
So if you wanna be my love
Maybe you don’t think I love you strong enough
Don’t wanna be a prisoner
You don’t think that I’ll be strong enough
I’m just not the girl you thought I was
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I won’t be a prisoner of your love
I won’t be a prisoner of your love
No no, baby now
I read your mind
Always tried so hard to keep me down but now I’ll rise above
You’re just a player
Now I’m ending all the secrecy, I see through your disguise
I won’t be the prisoner of your love
Of your love
Expect me to hug and kiss you?
All of your actions, so listen up
I’ve had enough of, 'Now I’ll see ya later’ 'cause
I won’t be a prisoner of your love
There’s nothing you can hide, it’s all defined
Yeah
I believed so I held on
But I’m not gonna be a prisoner of your love
Cryin’ ’cause you wouldn’t take me all over town
That’s not my format, c ya
Don’t that dis you?
I won’t be the prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
You see me and then say, "Mariah I miss you"
Those empty lies
To change the way I feel inside
I can focus on deception
Used to keep me by your side
