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
