"I walk along the street and wonder what to do I'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brain But as to how, I haven't a clue Should I shout at the people who pass me by Hey folks look at me, I'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 don'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 There's a man with a case and as I look at his face I'm sure I'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 'round It'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 don'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 I'm masquerading As a poet with something to say The inspiration's gone and I can't turn it on It'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 don't want to know Keep it to yourself.
