Kanye West - Love Lockdown Lyrics

I'm not lovin' 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
Screamin', "No, no, no, n-no!”

I'm not lovin' 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
Keepin' 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 lovin' you the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got somethin' 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 ya â€~for it finally got through?
You lose, you lose

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to move
No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life
We're just racin' time, where's the finish line?

So keep your love locked down, your love locked down
Keepin' 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 lovin' 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 lovin' you the way I wanted to

Gotta keep it goin', keep the lovin' goin'
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose

I'm not lovin' 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 lovin' you the way I wanted to

So keep your love locked down, your love locked down
Keepin' 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

  The song is for a girls that is unavailable, maybe she is married or he is married. Listen the song, he can't stop it but he wants her, but he migth loose something that he can't, maybe a family. This is teh way I sense it.

  I think "keep your love locked down", is another way of saying, "don't get caught up". He's also saying he loves her, but he can't let himself get caught up either because he loses himself when he's into her. ~Sam E.~

  it means he has been waiting for her to decide to be with him and she cant make up her mind for some reason. maybe she is with someone else, or she is afraid, and he is hurting bad because he wants her, but he cant go away from her no matter how much he tries because he loves her!

  well i know exactly what this means cuz im going thru it right now and when i heard it, i totally felt as though he wrote it for me. its's basically that he loves this girl so much but something happened during their relationship which caused him to want to love her from far away. he says he will love her in secret. "So I keep it low
  Keep a secret cold
  So everybody else don’t have to know" and he still loves her when he says "I’ve been no one new
  I got no one new
  No I said I’m through
  But got love for you" he still loves her but their relationship is a waste of time because of the girl... "No more wastin’ time
  You can’t wait for life
  Were just wastin’ time
  Where’s the finish line ?" he still wants to be with her but it just wont be the same "Only god knows
  If I’ll be with you
  Baby I’m confused
  You choose, you choose
  I’m not lovin' you
  The way I wanted to"
  he says he doesnt need her where he's going.....so maybe because of his career or ambitions???? "Where I want to go
  I don’t need you
  I’ve been down this road
  Too many times before"
  
  well thats all i could get :)
