Keep It To Yourself

by Clarence Williams recording of 19 from The Complete Recordings, Vol. 4 (Columbia/Legacy 52838) If your man is nice and sweet Serving you lots of young pig meat Oh yes, keep it to yourself If you know you are standing fast Got him worried where you at Oh yes, keep it to yourself He don't fall for no one He don't call for no one He don't give nobody none of his L.O.V.E. 'Cause it's yours If your man is full of action Givin' you lots of satisfaction Oh yes, keep it to yourself If you gotta have a kiss and a sweet Makes me week way down in my knees Oh yes, keep it to yourself If he tries to treat you right Give him lovin' every night Oh yes, keep it to yourself He don't fall for no one He don't call for no one He don't give nobody none of his L.O.V.E. 'Cause it's yours With your man you got the best go Don't broadcast it on nobody's radio! Oh yes, keep it to yourself
