I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
But 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 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 anybody else don't have to know

So keep your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Keeping your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - you lose

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I guess I'm to lose, so I gotta move
I can't keep myself & 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 take 'fore 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 lockdown - your love lockdown
Keeping your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - 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 all along
Only God knows if I'll be with you
Baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose

I'm not lovin you the way i wanted to
Well I wanna go, I dont 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 lockdown - your love lockdown
Keeping your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown - you lose
