[Verse 1:]
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to 
What I had to do, had [bad word] 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 loving 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 
 [bad word] ]
So keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
So keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
So keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
Now keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
You lose 

[Verse 2:] 
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to 
I can't keep my cool, 
So I keep it [bad word] 
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 it take for I 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 wastin' time, where's the finish line 
 [bad word] ]
So keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
Keepin' your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
Now keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
You lose 

[Verse 3:] 
I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to 
I bet no one knew, I got no one new 
I 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' gone 
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 
 [bad word] ]
So keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
Keepin' your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
Now keep your love locked down 
Your love locked down 
You lose, you lose 
You lose, you lose 
You lose
