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

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...

I'm doing time
It's a real fight
But it's al right
Sometimes I just hate to love you

You cuffed me up and treated me cold
I threw the key out a long time ago, oh
If you released me I wouldn't leave, no
So don't feed me poison I gotta eat, oh

Yo, be my cell mate
Plan our escape
Tell me when you're ready
And we can storm the front gate
Who 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...

I'm doing time
It's a real fight
But it's al right
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...

I'm doing time
It's a real fight
But it's al right
Sometimes I just hate to love you
