Both Lock and Key in lyrics

I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

3 Key lyric examples

Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free



I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats




I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

 

[MeanDean]

At the 2:23 mark you hear one of the musicians ask, "What key, what key?"

3 Lock lyric examples

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!




Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me




So lock up your daughter, lock up your wife
Lock up your back door, run for your life

 

[MeanDean]

"Just one key unlocks them both."

3 more Lock lyric examples

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears



And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall out of place




Why do you lock yourself up in these chains? (These chains)

I was born to Rage Against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key, we'll break in
