You'd better watch your step
And keep an eye on your back
There's something hiding in the shadows
And it's on the attack

She's a smooth-talking stranger
Like a thief in the night
You let down your defenses
She'll wrap chains around your heart

Try your best to get away
Hit the highway
It's going to get you, before you know it
You've become a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

You've been hidin' from your destiny
But your hidin' is through
You're on dangerous ground baby
Because love, love, love's out to get you

She's a smooth-talking stranger
Like a thief in the night
You let down your defenses
She'll wrap chains around your heart

Try your best to get away
Hit the highway
It's going to get you, before you know it
You've become a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

Some people know all the ways of the world
Shades of gray, black and white
When you're standing alone and are faced with love
Just strap it in baby, and hold on tight

She's a smooth-talking stranger
Like a thief in the night
You let down your defenses
She'll wrap chains around your heart

Try your best to get away
Hit the highway
It's going to get you, before you know it
You've become a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love

You're just a prisoner
A prisoner of love
