No one to talk with,

all by myself,

No one to walk with,

but I'm happy on the shelf

Ain't misbehavin' . . .

saving my love for you!



I know for certain,

the one I love,

I'm through with flirtin',

it's just you I'm thinkin' of

Ain't misbehavin' . . .

saving my love for you!



Like Jack Horner,

in the corner,

don't go nowhere,

but what do I care?

Your kisses . . .

are worth waitin' for

Believe me!



Don't stay out late,

don't care to go!

I'm home about eight,

just me an' my radio!

Ain't misbehavin' . . .

saving my love for you!



[ instrumental verse ]



Hmm, I don't stay out late,

don't care to go!

I'm home about eight,

just me an' my radio!

Ain't misbehavin' . . .

saving my love for you!
