My friends say she's sophisticated and free
Never fall for an outlaw like me
Too high and re- fined. 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
Instrumental
Yesterday I caught her in a glance
More than a coinci- dence
But she turned a- way as if to say
I'm a- bove 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?
