Lyrics I Have To Keep You Down - Jam in the Van, Christian Lee Hutson

I Have To Keep You Down

I could have told you they loved you
From the way they stood still
But I hope you didn’t notice
And that you never will
'Cause it isn’t hard to imagine
That you won’t need me someday
'Cause I know something that you don’t
You never did anyway
And our love’s already
Begun to brown
And unless I can convince you
No one can want you now
You’re gonna see how easy
It is to fool around
So I have to keep you down
Locked up whatever you had left
And trusted me with the keys
'Cause you thought I figured it all out
But that’s completely insane
Maybe you should have considered
No one remembers my name
And our love’s already
Begun to brown
And unless I can convince you
No one can want you now
You’re gonna see how easy
It is to fool around
So I have to keep you down
Your oversights gonna cost you
Maybe eventually
See I’ve been bettin' against you
Unintentionally
And our love’s already
Begun to brown
And unless I can convince you
No one can want you now
You’re gonna see how easy
It is to fool around
So I have to keep you down
I have to keep you down
