Thicke, Robin - Lock The Door Lyrics

The whole Joe Cocker vibe he’s going for is really working. He should do more stuff like this.

She aint leaving no porch light on 🔥🔥🔥

One, two, look at you
Three, four, she locked the door
I keep knockin' and knockin' and knockin' and knockin'

She was born in Paris
At the age of 21
Love knew her
But she didn't know love
Love didn't hear her when she cried
Love didn't stand by her side
On the most important night, oh yeah

And now she's flyin' high
You can't hurt her no more
And now she's locked the door
'Cause you broke the key
And she got a bright spot on her face
Now that she got that little taste
She just wants more
She just wants more
She locked the door

I kept tryin' to tell you you were pushin' me too far
She locked the door
I kept tryin' to warn you you was slowly breakin' my heart
She locked the door
I kept givin' you all of it but you took way too much
She locked, locked, locked, locked, locked, locked that door
And I don’t know what this is but I know this ain’t love

One, two, look at you
Three, four, she locked the door
I keep knockin' and knockin' and knockin' and knockin'

One morning the tears started rolling down her empty face
That sparkle in her eye had been abruptly replaced
When I touched her she said wait, when I kissed her she pulled away
And I knew it was over, cause she had nothing left to say

But now she’s flying high you can’t hurt her no more
Now she’s locked the door because you broke the key
Now a world without you she calls whole
She ain't leavin' no porch light on
She just wants more, she just wants more
She locked the door

I kept tryin' to tell you you were pushin' me too far
She locked the door
I kept tryin' to warn you you was slowly breakin' my heart
She locked the door
I kept givin' you all of it but you took way too much
She locked, locked, locked, locked, locked, locked that door
And I don’t know what this is but I know this ain’t love

One, two, look at you
Three, four, she locked the door
I keep knockin' and knockin' and knockin' and knockin'

Baby let me in, baby I miss my best friend, yes I do
She locked the door, you can’t hurt her no more
She locked, locked, locked, locked, locked, locked that door

Hey yea, c'mon, I kept tryin' to tell you you were pushin' me too far
She locked the door
I kept tryin' to warn you you was slowly breakin' my heart
You can't hurt her anymore
I kept givin' you all of it but you took way too much
She locked the door
And I don’t know what this is but I know this ain’t love
She locked, locked, locked, locked, locked that
C'mon baby let me in
Don’t leave me out here in the cold
Ooh turn the porch light on
At least open the doggy-door
Throw a friend a juicy bone
Baby please give me a little hope, all I need is a little hope

One, two, silly fool
Three, four, she locked the door
I keep knocking and knocking and knocking and knocking

This is a master piece! What a great composition! It digs deep... Robin is one of the best composers and interpreters of our time!

Just reacently got into paula after expanding the horizon beyond the blurred lines project. So far I've dabbled into Love after war and sex therapy and both are really solid as well. I recall the critics going ham on this album for basically being thrash and boy I'm I glad to have come around and make my own judgement.

It's better than it was given credit for at the time, I don't think it's a masterpiece though.
