Holland-Dozier - Locking Up My Heart (First Pressing) lyrics

I'm puttin' up my guard I'm lockin' up my heart Tellin' Cupid to pa** 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)
