Lock and Key Lyrics by Klymaxx

Greatest Hits

1985

Klymaxx – Lock and Key

Call a locksmith
‘Cause I don’t want to be in love anymore
Oh baby!

Why you wanna hold me down?
Why you wanna keep me back?
You know you’re the only one
And you know that’s a fact
But still

You’re so suspicious
You’re so suspicious, baby
You’re so suspicious
Ooh, you’re so suspicious, baby
Cool out
I’m not goin’ nowhere

You’ve got this thing, baby
About being in control
You’ve got my mind in bondage
And now you want my soul
I just don’t understand, honey
Why my love has to be in doubt
You’ve got me so confused, boy
On what love is really all about
Ooh, yeah yeah

[Chorus:]
You got me under lock and key
Don’t want nobody else to be with me
You got me under lock and key
Everything you do is full of jealousy
You got me under lock and key
You got me where you want me to be
You got me under lock and key
Can’t you see I really love you?

Why you wanna hold me down?
Why you wanna keep me back?

You’re so suspicious
You’re so suspicious, baby
You’re so suspicious
Ooh, you’re so suspicious, baby
Cool out
I’m not goin’ nowhere

[Verse 2:]
I can’t even go out with friends for fun
Without you having bad things to say
Even though you know you’re the only one
I still have trouble coming my way
(Oh baby)
Now I’m used to being treated like a queen
But you refuse to give me that attention
Instead you walk around real mean
And keep our love in suspension

[Chorus]

Only you
Just you, baby

[Rap:]
All the sexy things I did for you
I tried to show you baby that my love was true
But you got attitude every day and night
It’s just about anything that you didn’t like
Now I’m a diva, baby, and I know what to do
I know how to handle a man like you
I take Mercedes, the house, and all my sleazy love
And leave you where I found you with the sky above
I told you that I loved you
I told you that I care
But you’re jealous, insecure, you think I’m having an affair

Cutie, I cannot handle it!
I have to get out from under this man’s lock and key so I can be a diva
A grand diva!
Let’s go to Paris, let’s go to—
No, let’s go to Jamaica
Jamaica?
Yeah mon!
Jamaica, Lord, Good god! Oww!

[Verse 3:]
I’ve been with you for so long
But you still haven’t changed the words to your song
I want to be free
‘Cause I don’t wanna be under your lock and key

[Chorus]

This is the most frustrating relationship I’ve ever been in
Let me tell you
For starters, all I hear all day is
“Where you been, Lorena? When you comin’ back, Lorena? Where’s my food, Lorena?”
Let me tell you something, honey
I don’t want to be under your lock and key anymore
