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

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
