In the night I hear ‘em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless…
How could you be so heartless… oh
How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain’t told me
And yo I did some things but that’s the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon’ show me
So you walk around like you don’t know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it’s still so lonely

In the night I hear ‘em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless…
How could you be so heartless… oh
How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so Dr. Evil
You’re bringing out a side of me that I don’t know
I decided we weren’t gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don’t know she’s hot and cold
I won’t stop, won’t mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you’re leavin’ me
They say that they don’t see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon’ see,
You’ll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear ‘em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless…
How could you be so heartless… oh
How could you be so heartless?

Talkin’, talkin’, talkin’, talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don’t know what we been through
They don’t know ’bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon’ keep hatin’ me
And we just gon’ be enemies
I know you can’t believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can’t make it right
Im gon’ take off tonight
In to the night…

In the night I hear ‘em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless…
How could you be so heartless… oh
How could you be so heartless?

I’m not loving you way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I’m in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me all the way home

So you never know, never, never know
Never know enough till it’s over, love
Till we lose control, system overload
Screamin no no no no no

I’m not lovin’ you way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can’t escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now, keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now, keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something to lose, so I gotta move
I can’t keep myself and still keep you, too

So I keep in mind when I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home in the danger zone
How many times did I tell you
‘fore it finally got through
You lose,you lose

I’m not lovin’ you way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to move
No more wastin’ time, you can’t wait for life
Were just racin’ time, where’s the finish line

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you way I wanted to
I’ve been no one new, I got no one new
No I said I’m through, but got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you way I wanted to

Gotta keep it going, keep the lovin’ going
Keep it on a role, only God knows
If I’ll be with you, Baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose

I’m not lovin you way I wanted to
Where I want to go I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road too many times before
I’m not lovin you way I wanted to

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose
