[Verse 1] 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 So don't bail me out, babe, I'll pay the cost, oh [Pre-Chorus 1] Uh, see, it ain't that sunny, spent my money Sweet as a felony, ain't you, honey? I can hear the bribes, but I'm wearin' stripes Look up at the stars and I gotta think twice All of the fighting keeps it exciting [Chorus] I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time, it's a real fight, but it's alright Sometimes I just hate to love you [Verse 2] You cuffed me up and treated me cold I threw the key out a long time ago, oh If you released me I wouldn't leave So don't feed me poison I gotta eat, oh [Pre-Chorus 2] Yo, be my cellmate, 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 [Chorus] I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time, it's a real fight, but it's alright Sometimes I just hate to love you [Bridge] 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 doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you [Chorus] I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine Sometimes I just hate to love you I'm doin' time, it's a real fight, but it's alright Sometimes I just hate to love you
