Lockdown Lyrics
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Oh, your love stays on lockdown
Can't tell my friends, 'cause they all talk now
I won't lie, baby, you're my secret
Oh, your love stays on lockdown
[Pre-Chorus: David Byrne, Miley Cyrus & David Byrne]
I don't know if it's day, I don't know if it's night
I don't need to go out, I wanna stay inside
Come on over, love, and we'll be lost and found
Come on over, love, and we can lock it down
Lock it down, down, down, down, down, down
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Oh, your love stays on lockdown (Stays on lockdown)
Can't tell my friends, 'cause they all talk now
I won't lie (Won't lie, won't lie), baby, you're my secret (Secret)
Oh, your love stays on lockdown
[Refrain: Miley Cyrus]
Ooh (I won't, I won't, I won't)
Oh, your love stays on lockdown, I don't wanna talk now
Ooh, it stays on lockdown
Oh, your love stays on lockdown, I don't wanna talk now
Ooh, it stays on lockdown
[Interlude: Miley Cyrus, David Byrne & Both]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
(Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Lock it down, down, down, down, down, down
Lock it down, down, down, down, down, down
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Down, down, down, down, down
Woah, woah, oh, oh, oh
[Refrain: Miley Cyrus]
Oh, your love stays on lockdown, I don't wanna talk now
Ooh, it stays on lockdown (Down, down, down)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(Down)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
(Down, ooh)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse: Miley Cyrus]
You bring out an animal feelin'
Why'd you leave me waiting so long?
I've been drowning, your love beneath me
Drink my breath away 'til it's gone
Put me on your carousel, chandelier, fairy tale, atmosphere
Marigold, fields of gold, icon, centerfold
You're the only one I chose
No one has to know, you know
[Pre-Chorus: David Byrne, Miley Cyrus & David Byrne]
I don't know if it's day, I don't know if it's night
I don't need to go out, I wanna stay inside
Come on over, love, and we'll be lost and found
Lock it down, down, down, down, down, down
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Oh, your love stays on lockdown (Oh, your love stays on lockdown)
Can't tell my friends (Can't tell my friends), 'cause they all talk now (They all talk now)
I won't lie (Won't lie), baby, you're my secret (Secret)
Oh, your love stays on lockdown
[Outro: Miley Cyrus]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Ah)
(Ah-ah)
