Ooh

Don't you ever let nobody
Ever get on the inside story of your love affair
(No)
No

Don't you ever let nobody
Ever get on the inside story of your love affair
(No)
You better not

'Cause if you do, you in trouble
And your love, it won't go nowhere
Nowhere

It'll be, 'He said', 'She said'
They'll say that she don't love you
(No)
Uh

It'll be, 'He said', 'She said'
Then they'll say that she don't love you
(No)

You don't want to believe them
But then again, it could be true
Yes, it could

Some people can't stand
To see two people in love get along
(No)
Oh, no

Some people can't stand
To see two people in love get along
(No)
No

There's no limit what they'll do
They'll try a lie or anything that's wrong
Yes, they will

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Yeah

Listen, if you got something goin'
It ain't nobody's business but your own
(Keep it to yourself)
To yourself now
(Keep it to yourself)

If you got something goin'
It ain't nobody's business but your own
(Keep it to yourself)
Keep it to yourself
(Keep it to yourself)

Yes, I can tell you, friend
They'll have all your business
And gone, yeah

So don't ever
(Ooh)
Say nothing
(Ooh)

Just keep it
(Ooh)
To yourself
(Yeah)

Don't ever
(Ooh)
Say nothing
(Ooh)

Keep it all
(Ooh)
To yourself
(Yeah)

Don't you ever
(Ooh)
Say nothing
(Ooh)

Keep it, girl
(Ooh)
To yourself
(Yeah)
