Текст песни Kanye West - Love Lock Down

I'm not loving 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 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-no!”
 
I'm not loving you the 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
 
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down
Keeping your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, you lose
 
I'm not loving you the 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 for 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?
 
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down
Keeping your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, you lose
 
I'm not loving 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 loving you the way I wanted to
 
Gotta keep it going, keep the loving going
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
 
I'm not loving you the 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 the way I wanted to
 
So keep your love locked down, your love locked down
Keeping your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, your love locked down
I keep your love locked down, you lose
You lose,
You lose,
You lose,
You lose
