I’m Gonna Lock My Heart and Throw Away the Key Songtext
von Carmen McRae

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 snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So, the love bug can't get in

I'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 away the key


I said, "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 snob the moon above
Seal my windows up with tin
So, the love bug can't get in

I′m gonna park my romance right along the curb
Hang a sign on my heart
"Don't you dare disturb"
And if I never, never, ever fall in love again
That's soon enough for me

I′m gonna lock my heart
I′m gonna lock my heart
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key
