Billie Holiday
I’m Gonna Lock My Heart (And Throw Away the Key)
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you've 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 in
[Verse 2]
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 the key
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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 the key
