Locked Away (Feat. Adam Levine)
R. City · Locked Away (feat. Adam Levine)
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
Right about now
If a judge 'for life' me, would you stay by my side?
Or is you gonna say goodbye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright?
Come on show me that you are down
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know, would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
Skiddly-down-down-down-dang
All I want is somebody real, who don't need much
A gal I know that I can trust
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love
Would that even be enough?
Girl me need to know
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know, would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (want me?)
Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (call me?)
If you knew I wasn't balling
Cause I need a gal who's always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (need me?)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me?
Or is you just tryna play me?
Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
Would you still love me the same?
Locked Away (Feat. Adam Levine)
"Locked Away" is a song about the question at the heart of every relationship. The track, by R. City featuring Adam Levine, was released on 29 June 2015. It is a dancehall and reggae fusion song that runs 3:49, released on Kemosabe and RCA, and it was written by Theron Thomas, Timothy Thomas, Lukasz Gottwald, Henry Walter, and Toni Tennille, with production by Dr. Luke and Cirkut.
The lyrics open with that exact question: "If I got locked away / And we lost it all today / Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?" It is a song about unconditional love, about the kind of love that does not depend on money or strength.
The song became a massive hit, and it is one of the most enduring duets of the 2010s. It is a song about the fear at the heart of love, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both tender and powerful.
What stays with me is how the song turns a simple question into an anthem. It is a song about the fear of being abandoned, and it is delivered with a sincerity that is hard to ignore.
