Prisoner of Hope - Johnny Lee

My friends say she’s sophisticated and free

Never fall for an outlaw like me

Too high and refined

I’m just wastin' my time

Forget her

But I’m kind of 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 trying to win the smile in her eyes

The touch of her skin

She would discount 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

Making up love out of pure fantasy

Prisoners of hope never want to be free

Yesterday I caught her in a glance

More than a coincidence

But she turned away as if to say «I'm above it»

She says that love is a trick of the night

And it’s all done with mirrors and lights

But when I act like a fool

Like some kid back in school

She loves it

I’m a prisoner of hope

Just trying to win the smile in her eyes

The touch of her skin

She would discount 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

Making up love out of pure fantasy

Prisoners of hope never want to be free
