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, yes

Bound and chained

No, no, I don't ever wanna be free

So please don't ever leave me

For my poor heart (my poor heart)

No, it just couldn't stand the pain

(Stand the pain)

Though your love

Oh, yeah, got me in captivity

Yet if you should leave me

I know I would die

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In other words, in other words

I just couldn't take it, baby

I couldn't stand, ho

To say goodbye (say goodbye)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm just a prisoner, oh

For your good loving, yes, I am

Yes, I'm just a slave (slave)

Bound and chained

(Bound and chained)

No, no, no, no

I don't ever wanna be free

Oh, no, so don't ever leave me

For my poor heart (my poor heart)

Just couldn't stand the pain

(Stand the pain)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm just a prisoner

(I'm just a prisoner)

Just a prisoner

I done tried

I done tried and

I can't live without him
