I was so sad and lonely
for such a long time
always felt so jealous of those friends of mine
but I knew some day
I'd make 'em all see
come out on top
and they'd envy me

seem like all my life
no matter how I try
You're the only thing I got
and baby, that's why

[chorus]
I'm gonna lock you up
I'm gonna tie you down
'cause I'm not gonna loose this love I found (can't take a chance of loosing this love I found)
I'm gonna lock you up
I'm gonna throw 'way the key
I'll do whatever it takes
to keep you here with me

I ain't good lookin'
baby you know that
and I got no money
that's just a fact
Can't buy you a car
or fancy clothes
or pretty little diamonds
for your ears or your nose

so how am I ever gonna keep a girl like you
seems to me there only one thing a man like me can do

[(chorus)]

oh (I and I)
not much time
