She's Taken My Heart Prisoner Lyrics

She locked me up and threw away the key

What did I do to deserve this, I guess I just got lucky

It's a wonderful feeling and only a little bit sinister

The way she's taken my heart prisoner

The blood isn't reaching my extremities but I don't need them

It's strange how okay I am with never again knowing freedom

I'm incomplete and it's bittersweet like balsamic vinegar

To know she's taken my heart prisoner

I can't be held accountable for my actions

I wasn't in my right mind, they were crimes of passion

I confess I'm helpless before this power

I've allowed her to take my heart prisoner

I should set the beauty of her essence to music

But every time inspiration strikes, she looks at me and I lose it

There's no phrase to suitably explain to my listeners

The way she's taken my heart prisoner

If she ever wants to go I know I can't stop her

If she wasn't happy, well that just wouldn't be proper

I would do my best to learn to live without her

But it'd be hard cause she's taken my heart prisoner

After she's gone, for me there'll be no more courting

For there's no one else I want to give my love, it would lie dormant

A life sentence in solitary with no visitors

Because she's taken my heart prisoner

Well I got myself a good job but I'll never afford the ransom

Because the interest compounds whenever she kisses me and calls me handsome

So I must slave away until the day I've been interred

All because she's taken my heart prisoner

Someday in my life's final chapter

I'll sell my body to science and they'll dig through my cadaver

But there'll be something missing and all the best doctors will concur

Someone must've taken his heart prisoner
