lyrics

Keep It To Yourself


From the first time you laid eyes on her
She seemed so far away
Your knew you couldn’t hope to get close to her
But you tried anyway

And i tell you falling in love is such a flimsy excuse
For acting a fool and self abuse
And i know the mind of love don’t care for reason or rhyme
Or taking some good advice

But if you really love her
Keep it to yourself
If you really love her
Keep it to yourself

And from the moment i introduced her
You knew she was with me
But you had stars in your eyes for her
That blinded you to everything

And i know you think you’re in love
But you don’t know what that means
It so much more than your childish fantasies
And i know a man in love just wants to tell the world
But, boy, you’re talking about my girl

So if you really love her
Keep it to yourself
If you really love her
Keep it to yourself

~solo~

You haven’t fallen in love
You don’t even know her at all
You don’t have what it takes to win her heart
I know what a man in love is truly capable of
Now would you like me to show you too?

So if you really love her
Keep it to yourself
If you really love her
Keep it to yourself
