Love Theme from Eyes of Laura Mars

Prisoner

analyzed by Talia Nicolai


1. I've never been wrong
  • Dominance, feeling superiority
  • 2. But you're the only one I trust to show me the way
  • Clinging, hanging on
  • 3. I always hear your voice
  • Constantly thinking of you
  • 4. And in my dreams I hear you calling my name
  • Just a whole bunch of emotions
  • 5. What is it about you?
  • Don't really know what attracts me to you--limerance
  • 6. Some kind of ight shines from your face
  • But it must (has to be) be good
  • 7. And I can't turn away.
  • And now that I've got you (someone), I better hang onto you (it). Insecurity. Obsessive desperate kind of love
  • 8. I'm like a prisoner 9. Captured by your eyes,
  • With low self-esteem
  • 10. I've been taken
  • I'm a slave now
  • 11. And I've been hypnotized.
  • Passionate infatuation. You can make me do anything as long as I have you
  • 12. I'm like a prisoner
  • I can't escape from thoughts of you and am a slave to my emotions
  • 13. Captured by your eyes
  • On an emotional rollercoaster since I met you
  • 14. I've been taken
  • Mental and physical drain on me
  • 15. And I've been hypnotized.
  • Passionate infatuation. You can make me do anything as long as I have you
  • 16. And you eyes say everything
  • Passionate infatuation
  • 17. You want to keep me here forever, I can't escape
  • Obsessive, possesive and domineering kind of love
  • 18. One minute's so sincere, 19. Then you completely turn against me
  • A false love
  • 20. And I'm afraid.
  • Feeling fear and intimidation. Negative emotions
  • 21. You don't have to say you love me,
  • I'll only hear what I want. Pretend. Manupulation
  • 22. 'Cause if you want me, I'll stay
  • Just want me for anything--I'll stay. Physical satisfaction
  • 23. 'Cause I can't turn away.
  • I'm a slave to you because of the intense emotions I feel over you. Passionate love. Cupitidy
  • ***Repeat Line 8-15***
