I’m just a prisoner Candi Staton

I'd rather be lonely
Than to lose you
I'd rather be blue
Than to be all alone

'Cause if you leave me
My heart would grieve me
And my poor heart, no, no
Just couldn't stand the pain

Though your love
Has got me in captivity, yeah
Yet if you should leave me
I know I would die

Yeah, in other words
In other words
Listen, I just couldn't take it, baby
I couldn't stand
For you to say goodbye

Now, I'm just a prisoner
For your good loving
I'm just a slave
Bound and chained
