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)
