I'm just a prisoner of your love
You got me lip-locked fire the gun
If I escaped you I would be lost
So don't bail me out babe, I'll pay the cost

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
All of the fighting, 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
I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright
Sometimes I just hate to love you

You cuffed me up and treated me cold
I threw the key out long time ago
If you released me I wouldn't leave
So don't feed me poison I gotta eat

Be my cell mate, plan our escape
Tell me when you're ready we can storm the front gate
Fool the jail keeper, real deep sleeper
No big deal just misdemeanor

All of the fighting, 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
I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright
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

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, it's a real fight, but it's alright
Sometimes I just hate to love you
