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
Screaming no, no, no, no, no

I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
See, I want to 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 lock down
Your love lock down
Keeping your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
You lose

I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it [bad word] I've got something to lose, so I got to 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 take 'fore I finally got through?
You lose, you lose

I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
See, I had to go, see, I had to move
No more wasting time, you can't wait for life
We're just wasting time, where's the finish line?

So keep your love lock down
Your love lock down
Keeping your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
You lose

I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
I bet no one knew, I bet no one knew
I know I said "I'm through", but I've got love for you
But I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to

Got to keep it gone, keep the loving 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 loving you, the way I wanted to
Where I want to go, I don't need you
I've been down this road, too many times before
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to

So keep your love lock down
Your love lock down
Keeping your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
Your love lock down
Now keep your love lock down
You lose

You lose
You lose
You lose
You lose
