Annie Ross And The Low Note Quintet - Prisoner Of Life lyrics

rate me

If you're looking for a rainbow

You know there's gonna be some rain

One minute you're filled with happiness

Next minute there's nothing but pain

When you're a prisoner

And I'm a prisoner

I'm a prisoner of life

One day your man is here

The next day he's walked out and gone

But no matter what happens

You simply somehow gotta carry on

When you're a prisoner

And I'm a prisoner

I'm a prisoner of life

Life's god

It's bad

It's somewhere in between

But it's the unexpected

And the uncertainty

That keeps us going

You know what I mean

Yesterday you own the world

The next day the world owns you

One day everything's a lie

The next day you swear it's all true

That's what happens when you're a prisoner

And I am prisoner

I'm a prisoner of life
