Gerry Rafferty - Keep It To Yourself Lyrics
I walk along the street and wonder what to doI'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brainBut as to how, I haven't a clueShould I shout at the people who pass me byHey folks look at me, I'm no ordinary guyI had a love and she swore she was mineBut she only loved me when the weather was fine.My mind tells me what to doKeep it to yourself, tell nobody elseJust how you loved her so, they don't want to knowKeep it to yourself.On a subway train, I hide from the rainAnd take a seat right next to the doorThere's a man with a case and as I look at his faceI'm sure I've seen him someplace beforeHe looks up and I look downAnd then we both look awayThe train slows down and my head spins roundIt's like scene from a one-act play.My mind tells me what to doKeep it to yourself, tell nobody elseJust how you loved her so, they don't want to knowKeep it to yourself.I feel much better when the sun has lost its glowWhen the light of day is fading awayAnd there are shadows wherever I goYes the light is fading and I'm masqueradingAs a poet with something to sayThe inspiration's gone and I can't turn it onIt's been the same since she went away.My mind tells me what to doKeep it to yourself, tell nobody elseJust how you loved her so, they don't want to knowKeep it to yourself.
