I'm just a prisoner of your love

You got me lip-locked fire the gun

Oh......

If I escaped you I would be lost

So don't bail me out babe, I'll pay the cost

Oh......

See it ain't that sunny, spent my money

Sweet as a felony ain't you honey

I can hear the gripes, but I'm wearing stripes

Look up at the stars and I gotta think twice

Oh......

All of the fighting

Oh......

keeps it exciting

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

Oh......Oh......Oh......

Oh......

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you

You cuffed me up and treated me cold

I threw the key out long time ago

Oh......

If you released me I wouldn't leave

Oh......

So don't feed me poison I gotta eat

Oh......

You know,Be my cell mate, plan our escape

Tell me when you're ready we can storm the front gate

Fool the jail keeper, real deep sleeper

No big deal just misdemeanor

Oh......

All of the fighting

Oh......

keeps it exciting

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

Oh......Oh......Oh......

Oh......

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you

See I don't need the bars to lock me in

You can let your guard down 'til the end

Forever doesn't happen overnight

And that's why

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

Oh......Oh......Oh......

Oh......

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you
