(Verse 1)
I love the way you talk to me,
and how you always make my day.
I only have one lock to my heart and you truly have the right key.
Just promise you will never break away.

I love the way you hold me.
You always have a way to show,
how much you truly love me.
Oh, how I wish that wasn’t long ago.

(Chorus 1)
I hope you can make another lock.
I’m sorry I had to leave ya.
I had no choice but to go to Iraq.
I never meant to hurt’cha.
I broke the promise I made to ya.
I hope you will wait for me to knock.

(Verse 2)
I don’t know if I can wait any longer.
I hate to be alone every night.
Your love is what kept me stronger.
I just hope you are alright.

Then one day when I was bored,
I got a call from an old friend.
His voice was like chalk on a blackboard.
He was my first and now my ex-boyfriend.

(Chorus 1)

(Verse 3)
He had left me after high school,
to join the marines.
How dare he come back and act all cool.
I remember he just wanted one thing by all means.

I told him to leave me alone.
I was waiting for my true love to show.
He just said, “Let’s not do this over the phone.”
Somehow he ended up at my house and, WOW! he has grown.

Looking at those muscular arms.
Oh, how I want to touch those fine abs of his.
It’s funny I used to call him my lucky charms.
Then he takes my hand and says...

(Chorus 2)
I knew you wouldn’t make another lock.
I’m sorry I had to leave ya.
I had no choice but to go to Iraq.
I never meant to hurt’cha.
I broke the promise I made to ya.
I’m glad you waited for me to knock.

(Verse 4)
I tried to tell him that I had another person in my life.
He wouldn’t believe such words no matter how hard I tried.
He kneeled on one knee and asked me to be his wife.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes and replied...

I did make another lock.
I’m sorry I have to leave ya.
I never expected you to knock.
I never meant to hurt’cha.

(Chorus 1)

(Verse 5)
There came a knock at the door.
I ran hoping to find what I wanted.
I saw a marine with his hat off and looking down at the floor.
He gave me the news that I never wanted.

My ex-boyfriend was there beside me.
My heart was now on lock down.
This is not how it was suppose to be!
I finally got ready for the funeral down town.

(Chorus 3)
I hope you know you have been forgiven.
I’m sorry I had to leave ya.
I had no choice but to go to Heaven.
I never meant to hurt’cha.
I hope you will wait for my love again.

I never (never) meant to leave ya.
I never (never) meant to hurt’cha.
I never (never) will forget ya.
I never (never) said how much I love ya.
