"Keep It To Yourself" lyrics - BESSIE SMITH
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
