J.D. Souther Prisoner In Disguise lyrics

You think the love you never had might save you
But true love takes a little time
You can touch it with your fingers
Try to believe your eyes, is it love or lies?

So you're keeping your distance
A little bit of room around you
But if he doesn't return your call on time
Oh my, my, my

You just act like a fool on a holiday
There's nothing that you wouldn't try
You must be a prisoner in disguise

Well, this night life is my life
There's no one else in it
And sometimes those lonesome breezes blow

But it's no show so you might as well go
If you think you could win it
Without losing and letting it show

This city is no place to hide in
Everybody knows your number
And you could never be alone if you tried it
You just run like a man with no reason to run
And no place to ever arrive

You must be a prisoner
Look just like a prisoner
You must be a prisoner in disguise
