i’m puttin’ up my guard
i’m lockin’ up my heart
tellin’ cupid to pass by me
’cause all love ever brought me was misery
hello loneliness goodbye love
i’m tired of being abused and being misused
i’ve had my share of romance no more for me
i’m lockin’ up my heart and throwin’ away the key
lockin’ up lockin’ up lockin’ up
said i’m gonna throw away the key throw away the key
i’m lockin’ up lockin’ up
’cause all love ever brought me was misery
i don’t want don’t want nobody to love me
leave me alone and let me be lonely
this way i’ll know just where i stand
i’ll never have to worry about love again
lockin’ up lockin’ up lockin’ up
said i’m gonna throw away the key throw away the key
i’m gonna save myself from all this misery
lockin’ up lockin’ up lockin’ up
said i’m gonna throw away the key
i’m lockin’ up lockin’ up my heart
i’m lockin’ up lockin’ up my heart
yeah yeah yeah lockin’ up my heart
