Love Lockdown lyrics

I'm not lovin you, 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 ya never know, never never know
Never know enough, til it's over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screamin no no no, no no
I'm not lovin you, 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 ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, you lose

I'm not lovin you, 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 take fo' it finally got through
You lose, you lose
I'm not lovin you, 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, wheres the finish line

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, you lose

I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I met no one new, 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'll be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to
Where I gotta go, I don't need you
I been on this road, too many times before
I'm not lovin you, way I wanted to

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Now keep ya love locked down, you lose, you lose
You lose...You lose...You lose

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Verse 1
So many words for the broken heart,
Its hard to see in a crimson love,
So hard to breath,
Walk with me and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I can feel the sun
Your every wish will be done they tell me

Chorous
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's somethin' missin' in my heart
Verse 2
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze, if only
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control are you with me now
Your every wish will be done they tell me

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's somethin' missin' in my heart

There's nowhere to run i have no place to go Surrender
My heart' body and soul how can it be you're asking me
To feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why i can't be there where you are

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's somethin' missin' in my heart

Verse3
There's no way to run I have no place to go
Surrender my heart
Body and soul
How could it be you're askin me to feel things you never show

Quit playin' games with my heart

Even in my heart I see
You're not bein' true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Chorus:
Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart
I should've known from the start
Before you got into my heart
I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you so
So what is it that you can't see
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad
You better quit playin' games with my heart
Chorus
Quit playin' games
Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not a lie, let's stop
This tonight
Baby, quit playin' games
Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart
Chorus

Spoken:
This is for the lovers,
Strictly for the lovers, year
If you want some one you wanna get close to,
Then you get close to this

Woo... just to be close to ya

Yo, drop the verse

Like a flower to a tree, that how close I wanna be,
To your heart (baby to your heart, heart)
Like the stars to the night, and daytime is to light
Will never part (will never part)
I want you to be the only thing that I see
''cause I believe it's our destiny

CHORUS
Just to be close, just to be close
It's the only thing that I wanna do
Just to be close, just to be close
Just to be close to ya (closer to ya)
Just to be close

So lonely is the night, without you to hold me tight
(I wanna hold ya closer)
I need ya (baby hold me closer, closer)
My life will mean nothing without the joy you bring
To me, you know, you know, you know
There were never (never be) no one else for me
You were like the dream that become reality

CHORUS

I wanna give you all my love (all my love)
I gonna give it to you, I gonna give to you
All me love (all my love) I gonna give it to you, I gonna give to you
Give you everything you need (all my love I gonna give it to you)
I'm gonna it to you all you want (to be close to you) close to you

CHORUS

I don't want to be without your side
I've never never never ever let you go
Just wanna be close
I don't want to be without
You girl never never never ever let you go
Just to be close
Never be no one else for me you were like a dream that become reality

CHORUS

Just wanna be close... To you...

Let me sleep
For when I sleep I dream that you are here
You're mine
And all my fears are left behind

I float on air
The nightingale sings
Gentle lullabies
So let me close my eyes

And sleep perchance to dream
So I can see the face I long to touch
To kiss
But only dreams can bring me this

So let the moon shine softly on
The boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He’ll dream of me

I hide beneath the clouds
And whisper to the evening star
They tell me love is just a dream away, dream away, dream away, dream away
I’ll dream away

So let the moon shine softly on
The boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams
He’ll dream of me

Ohhhh, dream of me

We'll find, the answer to our life


You see me sitting here, a smile upon my face
The time has come but you know that it's not too late
There's been too many things, together we have seen
It's not too hard if we start to believe

And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So please

Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we, fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We'll find, the answer to our life

This world is not at ease, we seem to hide the truth
Thinking there's only so much we really can do
It's up to you and me, to face our destiny
The journey's here so let's take the stand

And we're not gonna take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain
So Please

Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we, fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We'll find, the answer to our life

Tell me why we have to cry
(And I try)
When there's so many things we can do
To help this troubled

World start a new
I need a reason, I need a sign
There's no turning back I'm here by your side
Is it today or maybe tonight?
We'll find
The answer to our life

Show me the way, give me the sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today, is it tonight
The answer to our life

Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we, fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We will find, the answer to our life

Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we, fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We'll find, the answer to our life

Never let it - never let it go

I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go

(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(Don't let go )
No, I won't let go

Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can 't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go

Chorus

I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon -just hold on tight
