Keepin' It to Myself

The Average White Band

They may be average, but they are definitely not a white band. Or at least, not completely white. More of a mixed-race band, because two of them appear to be black in this photo. The guy on the left may also be latino for all I know. Anyway to conclude I would strongly suggest that this musical group change their name to the much more accurate 'Average Mixed-Race Band' Yours sincerely, Sean Bean P.S.

Now and again it occurs to me 
I'm giving away much more than I ought to be 
Oh, yes I am 
And today I got a letter 
Telling me things that I better not believe 
But I don't know if I can 
But you're the last in a long line of mistakes I've made 
I'm tired of giving my heart and soul to a masquerade 
So I'm gonna be 

Keepin' it to myself 
Let it build up inside of me 
Keepin' it to myself 
Baby, I tried 

Well it makes no difference 
I always thought that it was planned 
When you get everything a man has to give 
You now you got to return it 
But every time I build my dreams 
Find that love is not all what it seems to be 
And I keep getting burned 
But from now on I'm gonna quit 
Before I commit myself 
To any woman I meet 
And I'll get by without love for a while 
And get into something else 

Keepin' it to myself 
Let it build on up inside 
Keepin' it to myself 
Baby, I tried
