Keep It To Yourself (With a lenghthy but worthwhile introduction)

 Dear celebrities who are in danger of heading down the wrong path... I wrote this for you. Because you don't need alcohol, drugs, sleazy clothes, sex - name your poison -to be... amazing. You won't find yourself by acting like every other celebrity who's ever... well, pretty much every other celebrity ever. You won't find yourself at the bottom of a bottle, or the end of a smoke. You won't find yourself in someone else. Whoever you were before you got famous is who you really are. I understand that the press of crowds who both love you and hate you can push you almost to breaking point, but you don't have to break. There are better ways to deal with it. Hobbies. Charity. Friendship. 

 The people who try to please the secular crowd are not the ones girls like me look up to. They're not the ones we consider role models. So if you want to be a role model, if you want to be looked up to, if you want to be loved... please, just... think twice, okay? 

  And PS, you won't get your "lost childhood" back by breaking the law or taking full advantage of the fact that your twenty-one. Actually, I don't understand that; that's about as backward as it gets. If you feel like you missed out on your childhood, do the things you would have gotten to do; you can still read children's literature, you can still watch Disney movies, you can still ride your bike, you can still swing, you can still play Barbies or action figures... You don't need hallucinogens to pretend you're a child. And unlike alcohol and drugs, watching Disney movies etc. etc. won't hurt you or anyone else.

 +Emma Watson , I don't know if you'll read this post or care, but you're the real reason I'm writing this. There's a quote from you on Goodreads, BTW: “I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.”
― Emma Watson 

  You did say that, didn't you? I looked up to you, then. I thought you were amazing. In fact, I looked up to you and thought you were amazing pretty much until I read the article/interview about/with you in "Elle" and looked into the "Noah" movie you were just in. Maybe you don't care about my opinion... but I haven't given up. I'm still hoping THAT you might come back...?

  Sorry everyone... back to the song...

Well, all the young boys,

You know they wanna know

Your secret.

But you can't get it back

Once you give it away.

Sometimes you're tempted

Just toe let 'em see it,

But you know that you're gonna

Need it someday.

Oh, please, girl, don'tcha

Let them fool ya;

You know that to them

You're just another game.

I know you just want

Someone to love ya,

But trust me, girl,

Those boys don't want

The same.

So keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself

For now, girl.

Just keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself

For now, gir-g-g-g-g-girl.

All the pretty young things

Line up, trying to get

Your attention.

They want your autograph,

And they want your

Secret to go.

By the way they act,

Well, you might start to think

That they need ya,

But fame like yours,

Well, you know it comes

And it goes.

You want someone

To be your best friend

Forever,

But all these girls are just

Your not-so-loyal fans.

So, girl, don'tcah let them in

On your little secret;

These groupies of yours,

They could never really understand.

So keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself

For now, girl.

Just keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself

For now, girl.

So keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself

For now, girl.

You keep it to yourself,

Just keep it to yourself,

You keep it to yourself

For now, gir-g-g-g-g-girl.
