Song lyrics
You don't think that I'll be strong enough 
No, baby now 
I won't the prisoner of your love 
(Prisoner of your love) 

Maybe you don't think that I'll be strong enough
But I'm not gonna be the prisoner of your love
I know you're lyin', denyin'
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, yes
So when the morning comes 
You know that I'll be gone 

You don't think that I'll be strong enough 
No, baby now 
I won't be the prisoner of your love 
(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, yeah, yeah
So when the morning comes 
You know that I'll be gone 

(You don't think) that I'll be strong enough 
No, baby now 
(I won't be) the prisoner of your love 
(Prisoner of your love) 
I'm just not the girl you thought I was
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
I won't be the prisoner of your love 
Of your 
Love

Don't wanna be a prisoner 
I don't wanna be a prisoner 
No, mhm
Don't wanna be a prisoner 
I don't wanna be a prisoner 

So if you wanna feel my love
You can't be a liar
Play around and 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 the prisoner, baby, of your love
No more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
(You don't think)

No, (mhm)
No more (mhm)
(Baby, now)
(I won't be)
No, no, no
The prisoner of your love
(Prisoner of your love)
(I'm just not)
The girl you thought I was, mm
Oh
(Not gonna be a prisoner)
Not gonna be
(I won't be)
The prisoner of your love
Yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Oh, baby, yeah

I'm not one of those girls who'll wait around
Cryin' 'cause your playin dirty all over town 
You can't do that
I'm not a door mat
You're just a player
That's not my format

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Laugh) see ya..
Oh, ooh yeah
Ooh, mm, yeah
(Prisoner of your love)

Its wicked this one. It has a real late 80's, early 90'e influence but thats what i love about it..

I love the little rap she does at the end too.

This is one of the best songs on her debut album. People were saying that she was awful at rapping and this and that, but I love it. This was when music was carefree and fun. I'd rather hear this than her crappy 'music' with guest rappers. The singing is awesome and rap is so cute and fun. This is a way better than Love Takes Time, which was a single. This should have been a single, seriously. Loooove it.
