Came into this world empty handed
Looking for love, just trying to keep out of the cold
I hoped a little, told a little too much
Shake my way, bending [bad word] till they broke

I had [bad word]  couldn't stop
You had to know
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own

But you were always living in my mind
I couldn't shake ya, baby you're taking my time
I lived a little, caught in the [bad word] circles around all the people I owe

I had [bad word]  couldn't stop
You had to know
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own

You gotta keep it for your own

Don't we need to find
Our own ways to find peace of mind
What you need to find
Your own way not a piece of mine
You need to find
Your own way not a piece of mine

You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own

You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own

You gotta keep it for your own
You gotta keep it for your own
