“Locked Away” è il nuovo singolo del duo di cantanti/producers americani Rock City,in attività dal 2003 e spesso autori di successi per altri(Rihanna,Miley Cyrus,Usher,Nicki Minaj…).Questa potrebbe essere la loro hit grazie alla voce di Adam Levine nel ritornello e per evidenti meriti nel confezionare una traccia urban-pop di qualità.

[Adam Levine:]
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn’t be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]
Right about now
If a judge for life me would you stay by my side?
Or is you gonna say goodbye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn’t buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright?
Come and show me that you are down

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don’t lie to me
If I didn’t have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?

[Adam Levine:]
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn’t be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]
Let’s get it diddly-down-down-down
All I want is somebody real who don’t need much
A gal I know that I can trust
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love
Would that even be enough?
Gal meh need fi know

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don’t lie to me
If I didn’t have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?

[Adam Levine:]
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn’t be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]
Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (Want me!)
Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (Call me!)
If you knew I wasn’t ballin’
Cause I need a gal who’s always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (Need me)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me yeah?
Or is you just tryna play me?
Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life

[Adam Levine:]
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn’t be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
