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 (hey)
So don't bail me out, babe, I'll pay the cost, oh
Uh, 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

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, oh
If you released me, I wouldn't leave, no
So don't feed me poison, I gotta eat, oh
Yo, be my cellmate, plan our escape
Tell me when you're ready, we can storm the front gate
Through 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

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

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
