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 that 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!?




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


See I wanna move but can't escape from you


So I keep it low, keep a secret code

So everybody else don't have to know





So keep your love locked down, your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down


I keep your love locked down, your love locked down


I keep your love locked down, 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, 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 racin? time, where's the finish line?




So keep your love locked down, your love locked down


Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down

I keep your love locked down, your love locked down


I keep your love locked down, 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, too many times before

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




So keep your love locked down, your love locked down

Keepin' your love locked down, your love locked down

I keep your love locked down, your love locked down


I keep your love locked down, you lose

You lose, you lose, you lose, you lose
