I keep it under lock and key 
My world is heavy can you hear my plea 
I'm growing tired of this tear-stained eye 
Sometimes I wonder why I even try 
So I keep it under lock and key 
I guess it wasn't really meant to be...
Andf I keep it under lock and key

I keep it behind my front door 
My ears are ringing and my throat is sore 
I'm growing tired of lonely place 
Sometimes I wonder when I'll see your face 
And I keep it behind my front door 
I guess you never really know for sure 
..And I keep it behind my front door

I keep it under lock and key 
My heart is heavy and my legs are weak 
I'm growing tired of the lonely life 
I want a child and I want a wife

Then I'll open up my front door 
I'll tell you when I know for sure 
I'll get down on my one good knee 
And I'll ask you will you marry me

Then I'll throw away this lock and key
