Love Ain't Taking Prisoners

VERSE 1
I've heard that all
Yes - all, all
In love and war is fair
That don't mean a thing
When Love overruns you
Then Love leaves you, laying there
You hope Love comes
And takes you captive
And washes your wounds
To help you heal
That's a fairy-tale notion
Look, I know, it's hard to hear


CHORUS
Sad truth is
Love ain't taking prisoners
Don't matter, sinner or saint
Love is or Love ain't
No in-betweens
You need to know that
Love ain't taking prisoners
No matter, rich or poor
When Love's out the door
Go 'head and grieve
'Cause Love ain't taking prisoners


VERSE 2
The upside of love is
Bright with a
Warm, sun-shiny view
A happy place to be
Everybody sees that Love is
Way in love with you
Love's dark-side got
Prison-bars you can't see
Not a guard in sight
You yell, you want to be let free
Don't you know?
You're the one with the key


REPEAT CHORUS


BRIDGE
You got the key
Let yourself out, if you can


REPEAT CHORUS


OUTRO
Love ain't taking prisoners
You need to know, know, know, know, know
Love got no need for prisoners
Love's too busy for prisoners
You need to know, know, know, know, know
Don't let the door hit ya
'Cause Love ain't taking prisoners
Love ain't interested in prisoners
Can't you see, Love got a full schedule here?
And Love ain't taking prisoners
