You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in That's right The conversation we had last night When all I wanted to do was Knife you in the heart I kept it all in You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in Midnight, a husband getting ready to fight A daughter sleeps alone with the light Turned on, she bears but Keeps it all in Just like that murder in '73 Just like that robbery in '62 With all there things that have happened to me I kept it all in Why do you keep on telling me now You know your problem You keep it all in You know your problem You keep it all in That's sweet That conversation we had last week When you gagged and bound me up to my seat You're right, I do I keep it all in
