Intro

 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 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

 So I keep it behind my front door

 I guess you never really know for sure 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
