Lyrics
DOING TIME IN THE PRISON OF MY MIND
VERSE 1
You say you're gonna leave me and I know the reason why. It's not that you
don't love me or you love some other guy. I've done some things that I
regret and I just want you to know. I'm sorry that I hurt you and I don't
want to let you go.
CHORUS
I'm doing time in the prison of my mind. I'm paying for all the times I did
you wrong. Please pardon me . Oh baby can't you see. I don't want to stay
locked up in here too long. It won't do me any good to plead not guilty for
any reason except insanity. I was crazy for doing you that way. So I'm
begging for your mercy today.
VERSE 2
I know that I deserve the sentence I've been dealt. I'm walking around a
free man but I'm in a living hell. I can't let you walk away and take my
heart with you. I'm going to win you back if it's the last thing that I do.
REPEAT CHORUS
No I don't want to stay locked up in here too long.
