Prisoner of Hope Songtext

von Johnny Lee

My friends say she's sophisticated and free.
Never fall for an outlaw like me.
Too high and refined. I'm just wastin' my time.
Forget her.

But I'm kinda caught in the web.
The lady has gone to my head.
I no longer cope. I'm a prisoner of hope,
Since I met her.

I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
The friendship would end.

With her in my arms and her by my side.
With her in my days and her in my nights.
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy.
Prisoners of hope never want to be free.

Yesterday I caught her in a glance.
More than a coincidence.
But she turned away as if to say,
I'm above it.

She says love's a trick of the night.
And it's all done with mirrors and lights.
When I act a fool like some kid back in school,
She loves it.

I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
The friendship would end.

With her in my arms and her by my side.
With her in my days and her in my nights.
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy.
Prisoners of hope never want to be free.

I'm a prisoner of hope.
Just tryin' to win.
The smile in her eyes,
The touch of her skin.
If she would just count me,
As one of her friends,
Somehow I know where,
The friendship would end.
