Love Lockdown

Macy Gray · Covered [2012]

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

What I had to do, had to run from you

I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong

And it haunted me all the way home



So you never know, never never know

Never know enough, 'til it's over, love

'Til we lose control, system overload

Screamin', "No, no, no, n-no, n-no"



I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

See I wanna move, can't escape from you

See I keep it low, keep a secret code

Everybody else don't have to know



Keepin' your love locked down and you lose



I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true

I got somethin' to lose, so I gotta move

I can't keep myself and still keep you too



So I keep in mind when I'm on my own

Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone

How many times did I tell ya for?

It finally got through, you lose



I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

See I had to go, see I had to move

No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life

We're just wastin' time, where's the finish line?



Keepin' your love locked down and you lose

Keep your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down and you lose



I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

I bet no one knew, I got no one new

Know I said I'm through, but got love for you

But I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to



Gotta keep it goin', keep the lovin' goin'

Keep it on a roll, only God knows

If I be with you, baby I'm confused

You choose, you choose



I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

Where I wanna go, I don't need you

I've been down this road many times before

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to



Keepin' your love locked down and you lose

Keep your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down

Your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down and you lose

You lose



I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha

I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha

I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha

I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
