Caught
Nylons · Other Songs - Nylons
I don't want to remember
How you became my ball and chain
Touched me with a burning ember
I'm a prisoner of your pleasure and pain
Every time that I try to escape you
The passion pulls me back inside
It's a crime every time that I hold you
You dropped me with your heart and I'm stopped before I start
[Chorus]
Baby I'm caught, I'm captured
You locked me up and tied me down
Baby I'm caught in the rapture
You hold the only key
But please don't set me free
Try my best to forget you
And I know you'll never say goodbye
Still I bet that if I left you
I would be the only one to cry
Every time that I try to escape you
The passion takes away my pride
It's a crime every time I try to leave you
You dropped me with your heart and I'm stopped before I start
[Chorus]
Save me, I'm a slave because of your love, baby
You never told me that this is what you were thinking of
[Chorus]
How you became my ball and chain
Touched me with a burning ember
I'm a prisoner of your pleasure and pain
Every time that I try to escape you
The passion pulls me back inside
It's a crime every time that I hold you
You dropped me with your heart and I'm stopped before I start
[Chorus]
Baby I'm caught, I'm captured
You locked me up and tied me down
Baby I'm caught in the rapture
You hold the only key
But please don't set me free
Try my best to forget you
And I know you'll never say goodbye
Still I bet that if I left you
I would be the only one to cry
Every time that I try to escape you
The passion takes away my pride
It's a crime every time I try to leave you
You dropped me with your heart and I'm stopped before I start
[Chorus]
Save me, I'm a slave because of your love, baby
You never told me that this is what you were thinking of
[Chorus]
