Keep It Together

Madonna

written by Madonna and Stephen Bray



Keep, keep it together

Keep people together forever and ever



I got brothers, I got some sisters too

Stuck in the middle tell you what I'm gonna do

Gonna get out of here, I'm gonna leave this place

So I can forget every single hungry face

I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs

To get attention I must always be the clown

I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own

But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home



Chorus:



Keep it together in the family

They're a reminder of your history

Brothers and sisters they hold the key

To your heart and your soul

Don't forget that your family is gold



I hit the big time but I still get the blues

Everyone's a stranger, city life can get to you

People can be so cold, never want to turn your back

Just givin' to get something

Always wanting something back

When I get lonely and I need to be

Loved for who I am, not what they want to see

Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me

We have a connection, home is where the heart should be



(chorus)



Intermediate:



When I look back on all the misery

And all the heartache that they brought to me

I wouldn't change it for another chance

'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance



When I get lonely and I need to be

Loved for who I am, not what they want to see

Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me

We have a connection, home is where the heart should be



(intermediate)

(chorus)



Keep, keep it together

Keep people together forever and ever

(repeat and fade
