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 it 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, n-no" I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to See I wanna move, can't escape from you See I keep it low, keep a secret code Everybody else don't have to know Keepin' your love locked down and 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 for? It finally got through, 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 wastin' time, where's the finish line? Keepin' your love locked down and you lose Keep your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down and 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 many times before I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to Keepin' your love locked down and you lose Keep your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down Your love locked down Keepin' your love locked down and you lose You lose I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha I'm not lovin' you like I wanted to aha
