Stay Within Myself - Peter Sarstedt

I’ve got to learn, I’ve got to learn

I’ve got to learn to stay within myself

Let no man take me for another

And if I stay within myself I will be blessed, then I will be blessed

When I am silent I’m hip

I let no malice

Get a grip

Get a grip

But there are times when the world spreads its claw

Demanding like some aging whore, melancholy

I’ve got to learn, I’ve got to learn

I’ve got to learn to stay within myself

Let no man take me for another

And if I stay within myself I will be blessed, I will be blessed

When we are talking we’re lost

People wanna shake you down, be boss, be boss

And though it’s true there’s no wisdom in books

Decide for yourself how it looks, breathing inwards

I’ve got to learn, I’ve got to learn

I’ve got to learn to stay within myself

Let no man take me for another

And if I stay within myself I will be blessed, I will be blessed

I’ve got to learn, I’ve got to learn

I’ve got to learn to stay within myself

Let no man take me for another

And if I stay within myself I will be blessed, I will be blessed

I’ve got to learn, I’ve got to learn

I’ve got to learn to stay within myself…
