Keep It to Yourself Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: Can I Have My Money Back? [Expanded]

I walk along the street and wonder what to do
Iâ‚¬â„¢d like to ease the pain in my troubled brain
But as to how, I havenâ‚¬â„¢t a clue
Should I shout at the people who pass me by
Hey folks look at me, Iâ‚¬â„¢m no ordinary guy
I had a love and she swore she was mine
But she only loved me when the weather was fine.

My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they donâ‚¬â„¢t want to know
Keep it to yourself.

On a subway train, I hide from the rain
And take a seat right next to the door
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s a man with a case and as I look at his face
Iâ‚¬â„¢m sure Iâ‚¬â„¢ve seen him someplace before
He looks up and I look down
And then we both look away
The train slows down and my head spins â‚¬Ëœround
Itâ‚¬â„¢s like scene from a one-act play.

My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they donâ‚¬â„¢t want to know
Keep it to yourself.

I feel much better when the sun has lost its glow
When the light of day is fading away
And there are shadows wherever I go
Yes the light is fading and Iâ‚¬â„¢m masquerading
As a poet with something to say
The inspirationâ‚¬â„¢s gone and I canâ‚¬â„¢t turn it on
Itâ‚¬â„¢s been the same since she went away.

My mind tells me what to do
Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else
Just how you loved her so, they donâ‚¬â„¢t want to know
Keep it to yourself.
