Locking Up My Heart

(الألبوم: Greatest Hits - 1966)

I'm putting up my guard
I'm locking up my heart
Telling 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 locking up my heart and throwing away the key

Locking up (locking up, locking up)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away the key)
I'm locking up (locking 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

Locking up (locking up, locking up)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away the key)
I'm gonna save myself from all this misery

Locking up (locking up, locking up)
Said I'm gonna throw away the key
I'm locking up (locking up my heart)
I'm locking up (locking up my heart)

Yeah yeah yeah (locking up my heart)
