I Keep It To Myself

(album: The Boy Is Mine - 1998)

I looked at you a thousand times
This time when I looked at you, there was something new
How could I be so blind?
We shared our secrets in the dark
And though we were only friends
I don't know when these feelings changed within my heart

Baby, ooh, I keep it to myself
Baby, ooh, falling in love with you
The harder it gets
'Cause you don't know the love I'm feeling
Oh, I keep it to myself
Baby, ooh, I'm falling in love with you
I don't wanna push you away
'Cause no one makes me feel like you do

I dream of you all through the night
Holding you tenderly, right here with me
And in my arms so tight
But when I start to tell you how I feel
You tell me 'bout someone new who's right for you
If you only knew my love's for real, oh, baby

Baby, ooh, I keep it to myself
Baby, ooh, falling in love with you
The harder it gets
'Cause you don't know the pain I'm feeling
Oh, I keep it to myself
Baby, ooh, falling in love with you
I don't wanna push you away
'Cause no one makes me feel like you do

I wonder if you feel the same way I do
Then we both can be together forever
So why do I hide all my feelings inside
If I know you're the only one for me?
The deeper that it gets
The harder that I fall
Fall

Baby, ooh, I keep it to myself
Baby, ooh, falling in love with you
The harder it gets
'Cause no one knows I'm feeling, baby
Oh, I keep it to myself (Don't you ever leave me, you know, baby)
I don't wanna push you away
(Don't you ever go away from me. Baby)
(You know I love you like that)
I love you baby, love you crazy (You know I love you like that)
I love you, baby, I love you crazy
Oh, I keep it to myself (Don't ever leave me, no, my baby)
I don't wanna push you away
(Don't you ever go away from me. Baby)
Baby, ooh, I keep it to myself (Yeah, yes)
I keep it to myself (It gets so hard, it gets so hard, so I)
I keep it to myself (Don't ever leave me, no, no)
