Prisioner - Lyrics by Mariah Carey


Lyrics
You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love


Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough

But I'm not gonna be a prisoner of your love
I know you're lying, denying all of your actions

So listen up 'cause here's my reaction


Here comes the night

No more living in the shadow of your love

This is my life

You always tried so hard to keep me down

But now I'll rise above

Those empty lies

Stop pretending that my accusations

Take you by surprise
I've realized

Now I'm ending all the secrecy
I see through your disguise


All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand

So when the morning comes

You know that I'll be gone


You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love


No longer blind
I can focus on deception

Used to keep me by your side
I read your mind

Don't believe it's all a mystery

There's nothing you can hide

It's all defined

There's nothing you can tell me now

To change the way I feel inside


All the dreams we planned
I believed so I held on
I understand

So when the morning comes

You know that I'll be gone


You don't think that I'll be strong enough
I won't be a prisoner of your love
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
I won't be a prisoner of your love


So if you wanna be my love

You can't be a liar

Play around

You see me and then say "
Mariah I miss you"

Expect me to hug and kiss you

Don't mean to diss you

But I guess I'm not the kind of girl you thought i was
I've had enough and now I'll see ya later 'cause

Boy maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough

But I won't be a prisoner baby of your love

No more no more no more no more no more no more

I won't be a prisoner of your love
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
I won't be a prisoner of your love

I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around

Crying 'cause you're playing dirty all over the town

You can't do that
I'm not a door mat

You're just a player

That's not my format
