I'm not loving you, way I wanted toWhat I had to do, had to run from youI'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrongAnd that haunted me all the way homeSo you never know, never-never knowNever know enough, 'til it's over love'Til we lose control, system overloadScreaming, "No! No! No! N-No!"I'm not loving you, the way I wanted toSee, I wanna move, but can't escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret codeSo everybody else don't have to know
So keep your love locked downYour love locked downKeeping your love locked downYour love locked downNow keep your love locked downYour love locked downNow keep your love locked downYou lose
I'm not loving you way I wanted toI can't keep my cool, so I keep it trueI got something to lose, so I gotta moveI can't keep myself, and still keep you tooSo I keep in mind, when I'm on my ownSomewhere far from home, in the danger zoneHow many times did I tell ya 'fore it finally got through?You lose, you lose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted toSee, I had to go, see, I had to moveNo more wasting time, you can't wait for lifeWe're just racing time, where's the finish line?
So keep your love locked downYour love locked downKeeping your love locked downYour love locked down
Now keep your love locked downYour love locked downNow keep your love locked downYou lose
I'm not loving you way I wanted toI bet no one knew, I got no one newI know I said I'm through, but got love for youBut I'm not loving you, the way I wanted toGotta keep it going, keep the loving goingKeep it on a roll, only God knowsIf I be with you, baby, I'm confusedYou choose, you chooseI'm not loving you, the way I wanted toWhere I wanna go, I don't need youI've been down this road, too many times beforeI'm not loving you, way I wanted to
So keep your love locked downYour love locked downKeeping your love locked downYour love locked downNow keep your love locked downYour love locked downNow keep your love locked downYou lose, you loseYou lose, you loseYou lose
