Love Lockdown Lyrics » Kanye West
[Verse 1]
I’m not loving 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 you never know, never, never know
Never know enough, ’til it’s over love
‘Til we lose control, system overload
Screaming, “No, no, no, n-nooo!”
I’m not loving 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I’m not loving you, way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something 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 you ‘fore it finally got through?
You lose, you lose
I’m not loving you, 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 racin’ time, where’s the finish line?
