Love Lockdown - Album Version

<Produced by Kanye West and Jeff Bhasker>

<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

<Hook>

So keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Keeping your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—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, 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 racing time, where's the finish line?

<Hook>

So keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Keeping your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—you lose

<Verse 3>

I'm not loving you, 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 loving you, the way I wanted to

Gotta keep it going, keep the loving going

Keep it on the roll, only God knows

If I be with you, baby I'm confused

You choose, you choose

I'm not loving you, way I wanted to

Where I wanna go, I don't need you

I've been down this road, too many times before

I'm not loving you, way I wanted to

<Hook>

So keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Keeping your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—your love lockdown

Now keep your love lock-down—you lose

You lose

You lose

You lose

You lose
