Prisoner Of Love

Lyrics & Composition: Hikaru Utada
Arrangement: Hikaru Utada & Isao Tomita (Strings Arrangement)

Telling lies with a calm look,
smiling, getting sick of it
I was just trying to make it easier

Asking-for-too-much blues
Everyone's seeking peace
We're content, but struggle
We're chasing after the shape of love

The boring days suddenly began shining
since that day you appeared
I thought I was fine even if lonely or painful
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

In sickness and in health,
on stormy days and clear days, let's walk together

I'm gonna tell you the truth
I'll choose the secret, difficult path
And you cheer me on
You're the only one I'll call a friend

Things like bluffing and greed have become meaningless
since that day I was loved by you
Freedom and leeway are empty if I'm alone
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh, just a bit more
Don't you give up
Oh, I won't abandon you, I absolutely won't

If a cruel reality tears the two of us up,
we'll be drawn together even more strongly
I felt like I could hold on as much, as much as I liked
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

The mundane everyday suddenly began shining
since that day you stole my heart
I thought I was fine even if lonely or painful
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
I won't leave you alone

Prisoner Of Love

Heiki na kao de uso wo tsuite
Waratte iyakegasashite
Raku bakkari shiyou to shite ita

Nai mono nedari BURUUSU
Mina yasuragi wo motomete iru
Michitariteru noni ubaiau
Ai no katachi wo otte iru

Taikutsu na mainichi ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Anata ga arawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Yameru toki mo sukoyaka naru toki mo
Arashi no hi mo hare no hi mo tomo ni ayumou

I'm gonna tell you the truth
Hitoshirezu tsurai michi wo erabu
Watashi wo ouen shite kureru
Anata dake wo tomo to yobu

Tsuyogari ya yokubari ga muimi ni narimashita
Anata ni aisareta ano hi kara
Jiyuu demo YOYUU demo hitori ja munashii wa
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh mou sukoshi da yo
Don't you give up
Oh misutenai zettai ni

Zankoku na genjitsu ga futari wo hikisakeba
Yori issou tsuyoku hikareau
Ikura demo ikura demo ganbareru ki ga shita
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Arifureta nichijou ga kyuu ni kagayakidashita
Kokoro wo ubawareta ano hi kara
Kodoku demo tsurakutemo heiki da to omoeta
I'm just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Hitori ni sasenai
