I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I’m wise to all those tricks you played on me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get inI’m gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw the key(bridge)
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I’m wise to all those tricks you played on me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get inI’m gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart

And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
To keep all the guys away from me
I’m gonna turn my back on love
Snub the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can’t get inPark my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s soon enough for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw the key(bridge)
Park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
Please don’t disturb
And if I never fall in love again
That’s too soon for me
I’m gonna lock my heart
I’ll never fall in love
I’m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
