I'm just a prisoner of Love
You got me lip locked by used gum
If I escaped you, I would be lost
So don't bail me out, babe, I'll pay the cost

See it aint that funny
spent my money
sweet as a felon
hey, aint you honey
I can hear the gripes
but I’m wearin stripes
look up at the stars
but I gotta think twice

All of the fighting
Keeps it exciting

I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
it's a real fight
but its all right
sometime I just hate to love you

you cut me up a treating me cold
I threw the key out a long time ago
if you released me, I wouldn’t leave, no
so don't feed me poison, I gotta eat

Be my cellmate
plan our escape
tell me when your ready
and we can storm the front gate
where are the jail people
real deep sleeper
no big deal just misdemeanor

all of the fighting
Keeps it exciting

I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
it's a real fight
but its all right
sometime I just hate to love you

see I don’t need the bars to lock me in
you can let your guard down till the end
forever doesn’t happen overnight
and that’s why
I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you

I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
but I don’t mind
I’ll be just fine
sometime I just hate to love you
I'm doin time
it's a real fight
but its all right
sometime I just hate to love you
