Macy Gray Love Lockdown (Kanye West 2008 - Nina Simone 1967) Lyrics

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 it 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, n-no”

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, can't escape from you
See I keep it low, keep a secret code
Everybody else don't have to know

Keepin’ your love locked down and 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

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?

Keepin’ your love locked down and you lose
Keep your love locked down
Your love locked down Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down and 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 many times before
I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

Keepin’ your love locked down and you lose
Keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down and you lose
You lose

I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
