Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Keep Me

You're not a cell, oh, no

But a prisoner am I

Caught in your spell, oh, yeah

The web and the fly

Prisoners usually only dream

Of one day bein' free

My dream is you lock me up

And throw away the key

Keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself

I say, keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself

You're not a cage, oh, no

But I am your inmate

Let's just engage in each other

Baby, I can't wait

A voluntary captive

All my time is spoken for

I could not escape you

Even through an open door

Keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself

(Keep me)

I say, keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself

(Keep me, keep me)

I'm guilty of love you

So make me serve

A lifetime of being with you

'Cause that's what I think I deserve

That's what I think I deserve

Ooh... baby...

Prisoners usually only dream

Of one day bein' free

My dream is you lock me up

And throw away the key

There's just no place

Nowhere else on earth I'd rather be

Oh, keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself

(Keep me, keep me)

I say, keep me, keep me

Baby, please keep me

Keep me for yourself, ooh...

(Keep me, keep me)

Keep me for yourself, ooh, yeah

(Keep me, keep me, keep me)

Keep me for your own

(Keep me, keep me, keep me)

Keep me locked away and love me good

Make me stay, then you'll never be alone

Keep me, keep me, keep me...
