The Cab - Lock Me Up Lyrics

The Cab Lyrics

"Lock Me Up"

Time to listen to my confession
I'm much less than I wanted to be, wanted to be
You shine a light on my dark side
But you don't care what you see

Overjoyed over you overnight
But that's what you do

Why don't you lock me up with joy and kisses?
Lock me up with love?
Chain me to your heart's desire
I don't want you to stop
Lock me in and hold this moment, never get enough
Ain't no way I'm ever breaking free
Lock me up

Lock me up

Criticize
You don't analyse me
'Cause you can see what I'm trying to be, trying to be
I've been lost
And I've been blinded
By all the things that I've seen

Overjoyed over you overnight
Girl, that's what you do

So why don't you lock me up with joy and kisses?
Lock me up with love?
Chain me to your heart's desire
I don't want you to stop
Lock me in and hold this moment, never get enough
Ain't no way I'm ever breaking free
Lock me up

Why don't you—?
Why don't you—?
Why don't you lock me up?

Why don't you—?
Why don't you—?
Why don't you lock me up?

Overjoyed over you overnight
Girl, that's what you do

So why don't you lock me up with joy and kisses?
Lock me up with love?
Chain me to your heart's desire
I don't want you to stop
Lock me in and hold this moment, never get enough
Ain't no way I'm ever breaking free
Lock me up

Why don't you—?
Why don't you—?
Why don't you lock me up?

Why don't you—?
Why don't you—?
Why don't you lock me up?
