Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1978 thriller film starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones and directed by Irvin Kershner. The screenplay was adapted from a spec script titled Eyes, written by John Carpenter, and would become Carpenter's first major studio film of his career.

Producer Jon Peters, bought the screenplay as a starring vehicle for Barbra Streisand, but the actress eventually decided not to take the role because of "the kinky nature of the story," as Peters later explained. As a result, the role went to Faye Dunaway,
.
Streisand nevertheless felt that "Prisoner," the torch song from the film, would be a good power ballad vehicle for her. She sang it on the soundtrack and garnered a moderate hit as a result.

PRISONER

I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to
Show me the way, I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name

What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, I've been hypnotized

And your eyes say everything
You wanna keep me here forever
I can't escape, one minute's so sincere
Then you completely turn against me and I'm afraid

You don't have to say, you love me
'Cause if you want me, I'll stay
'Cause I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, taken by surprise
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, I've been taken and I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, I've been taken by surprise

I'm just a prisoner . . . . . . . . . .
