Mariah Carey - Prisoner Lyrics

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

Maybe you don't think I love you strong enough
But I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you're lyin', denyin'
All of your actions, so listen up
'Cause here's my reaction

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 you 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 the answer
So when the morning comes, you know that I'll be gone

You don't think that I'll be strong enough
No, baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

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
To change the way I feel inside

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

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

Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner, no
Don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner

So if you wanna be my love
You can't be all wild, play up when
You see me and then say, "Mariah I miss you"
Expect me to hug and kiss you?
Don't that dis you?

But I guess I'm not the kind of girl you thought I was
I've had enough of, 'Now I'll see ya later' 'cause
Boy make me know 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

No no, baby now
I won't be a prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)

I'm just not the girl you thought I was
Oh, not gonna be a prisoner
I won't be the prisoner of your love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Cryin' 'cause you wouldn't take me all over town
You can't do that, I'm not a door mat
You're just a player
That's not my format, c ya

Prisoner of your love
