Just like a prisoner,
he don't know right from wrong.
just like a baby,
he sings a pleading song
and that's why
so many tears must fall.
yes, that's why
so many tears must fall.
just like a sailor,
he steers away from home.
he feels a tidal wave
in his heart, but he ain't alone
repeat first chorus
i'm like that prisoner,
i don't know right from wrong.
just like that baby,
i sing a pleading song
and that's why
you'll never know how i feel.
yes, that's why
you'll never know how i feel.
