[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 lovе lockdown—you lose

So keep your love lockdown—your love lockdown

Keeping your lovе 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?

[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

So keep your love lockdown—your love lockdown (Television)

Keeping your love lockdown—your love lockdown

(Rules the nation)

Now keep your love lockdown—your love lockdown (Television)

Now keep your love lockdown—you lose (Rules the nation)

[Verse 3]

I'm not loving you, way I wanted to (Television)

I bet no one knew, I got no one new (Rules the nation)

Know I said I'm through, but got love for you (Television)

But I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to (Rules the nation)

Gotta keep it goin', keep the loving goin'

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

[Chorus]

So keep your love lockdown—your love lockdown (Television)

Keeping your love lockdown—your love lockdown

(Rules the nation)

Now keep your love lockdown—your love lockdown (Television)

Now keep your love lockdown—you lose (Rules the nation)

You lose, you lose

You lose, you lose
