You used to come around and you'd show me
You used to come around and you'd show me something
You used to come around tryna show me I'm no great
You'd be screaming loud trying to tell me something
You'd be screaming loud, but it don't mean nothing
You sing all the song like a bird that's out of tune
But I've got my feelings, they don't go in
You box them in and I set them free
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
You can't come around like you know me better
You can't come around when I will not let you
I get to decide what is mine, you don't get to choose
'Cause I've got my feelings, they don't go in
You box them in and I set them free
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
I've got my feelings, they don't go in
You used to come around trying to teach me something
You'd be at my side like I need your loving
But I don't pay no mind, I decide what I wanna do
'Cause I've got my feelings, they don't go in
You box them in and I set them free
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
I've got my feelings, they don't come in
You box them in then I set them free
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
You hold the lock, but I've got the key
You hold the lock, but now I am free
