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 my heart)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away, throw away the key)
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up, lockin' up my heart)
'Cause all love ever brought me was misery (lockin' up, lockin' up my heart)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
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 my heart)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away, throw away the key)
I'm gonna save myself from all this misery (lockin' up, lockin' up my heart)
(lockin' up, lockin` up my heart) Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Lockin' up (lockin' up, up my heart)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (lockin` up, up my heart)
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up, up my heart)
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up, up my heart)
Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up, up my heart)
