[Intro]
Hey, baby
Ooh, boy, yeah
Oh, baby

[Verse 1]
I hope that you realize, baby, just what you mean to me
Mm, hey you, where I run for cover, your loving shelter for me
And when I find myself needing some lifting up
One night with you and that always is enough
Hey, you make being in love, a true rare affair
So take me, I'm your prisoner

[Chorus]
Will you sentence me to be your lover for life?
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me? I wanna be your lover for life
Your lover for life (Your lover, your lover, yeah, yeah, ooh)

[Bridge]
I just wanna hear you say
You'll be my lover, my lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You're my lover (Your lover), lover for life

[Verse 2]
Under your spell or under my own power
It really doesn't matter to me (No, boy)
See, I fell in love the first time I saw you
And have been falling in love ever since (Mm, boy)
You heard my testimony, you've seen my evidence
Hey, it's a crime of passion, in every sense
And justice would be served if you stay here in my world
So take me, I'm your prisoner
[Chorus]
Will you sentence me to be your lover for life?
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me? I wanna be your lover for life
Your lover for life (Your lover, your lover, yeah, yeah, ooh)

[Bridge]
I just wanna hear you say
You'll be my lover, lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You'll be my lover, lover for life, boy

[Verse 2]
You heard my testimony, you've seen my evidence
Hey, it's a crime of passion, in every sense
And justice would be served if you stay here in my world
So take me, I'm your prisoner

[Chorus]
Will you sentence me to be your lover for life?
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me? I wanna be your lover for life
Your lover for life (Your lover, your lover, yeah, yeah, ooh)

[Outro]
I'm your prisoner
Take me, I'm your prisoner
And sentence me to be your lover for life (I wanna be)
I'm your prisoner
Take me, I'm your prisoner (Take me, baby)
And sentence me to be your lover for life (Your lover, your lover, your lover, your lover, your baby, your baby, your baby)
