Lyrics Stay Within Myself - Peter Sarstedt

Stay Within Myself

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…
