Jason Kemp This song has hooks to die for. Manages to sound rough and ready but tone wise it hits all the spots. A huge sound. Deserves to be heard loud.

about

Lock Me Up is your classic unrequited love song with a twist.

We’ve all had a crush on someone who doesn’t want us back, so I pondered the romantic notion of ‘stealing someone’s heart’. And despite the romantic intention, I found myself thinking ‘stealing isn’t a good thing!’, especially with something as delicate as another person’s heart!

I like how the lyrics convey that I know what I’m doing isn’t right but I can’t help myself, a hopeless romantic out of control, a fugitive on the run, pleading guilty and that I need to be locked up before I commit the crime of stealing your heart.

lyrics

Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Mine got taken, torn all apart

Is it wrong or is it right?
You're the one that keeps me up all night
I'm a victim of your heart's conviction
So you better lock me up

Somebody lock me up
Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Come on and lock me up

Lord, forgive my sins
I won't plead my innocence
I'm so guilty just charge me my sentence
And lock me up

Somebody lock me up
Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Come on and lock me up

On the run, we’re driving full speed
I've played my cards and I'm playing for keeps
Put your heart on the line
I'm gonna take it
I'm gonna to make it mine all mine

Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Mine got taken, torn all apart

Somebody lock me up
Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Come on and lock me up, lock me up
Somebody lock me up
Somebody lock me up
I'm trying to steal your heart
Come on and lock me up, lock me up
