I hold the key to her locket She wears around her neck to show she's mine We're too young to be engaged so we found another way To vow our love until the end of time oh We'll make all the spots together The record hops the drive-in's and the shows And all the fellows know everywhere we go That the locket means that you are mine oh I'll hold you close and tell you that I love you You'll squeeze my hand and say you feel the same So you wear the locket and I'll keep the key Until I can replace it with a ring So always keep this locket that I bought you And wear it on your neck to high and proud So everyone can see you belong to me And that we bought our love eternally
