Love Lockdown

《Love Lockdown》是專輯《808's & Heartbreak》的第一波單曲，坎耶·維斯特在《Love Lockdown》中首次嘗試了用唱而不是説的方式來演繹 ^{[3]  [5]}  。2008年9月，坎耶·維斯特在博客上發佈了該曲，但由於使用了自動調節合聲（auto-tune），遭到了歌迷的不滿；9月18日，他在博客上發佈了最終版本，這個版本相較於先前的版本更為精緻，歌中融入了Taiko鼓的元素，坎耶也重新演唱了這首歌，但依舊保留了auto-tune的使用 ^[6]  。

I'm not lovin' you way I wanted to

What I had to do had to run from you

I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong

And that haunted me all the way home

So ya never know never never know

Never know enough 'til it's over love

'Til we lose control system overload

Screamin' no no no no no

I'm not lovin' you way I wanted to

See I wanna move but can't escape from you

So I keep it low keep a secret code

So everybody else don't have to know

So keep your love locked down your love locked down

Keepin your love locked down your love locked down

Now keep your love locked down your love locked down

Now keep your love locked down you lose

I'm not lovin' you way I wanted to

I can't keep my cool so I keep it true

I got somethin to lose so I gotta move

I can't keep myself and still keep you too

So I keep in mind when I'm on my own

Somewhere far from home in the danger zone

How many times did I take 'fore I finally got through

You lose you lose

I'm not lovin you way I wanted to

See I had to go see I had to move

No more wastin' time you can't wait for life

Which is wastin' time where's the finish line

So keep your love locked down your love locked down

Keepin your love locked down your love locked down

Now keep your love locked down your love locked down

Now keep your love locked down you lose

I'm not lovin you way I wanted to

I bet no one new I got no one new

I know I said I'm through but got love for you

But I'm not lovin' you way I wanted to

Gotta keep it goin' keep the lovin' goin'

Keep it on a roll only God knows

If I be with you baby I'm confused

You choose you choose

I'm not lovin' you way I wanted to

Where I want to go I don't need you

I've been down this road too many times before

I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to

So keep your love locked down your love locked down

Keepin your love locked down your love locked down

Now your love locked down your love locked down

Now your love locked down you lose you lose

You lose you lose you lose ^[1]
