Ain't Misbehavin'
Savoring Love's Quiet Melody
Lyrics
No one to talk with
Feeling isolated, no one to converse with
All by myself
Alone
No one to walk with
No companion for a walk
But I'm happy on the shelf
Content with being alone (metaphorically "on the shelf")
Ain't misbehavin'
Not engaging in misconduct
I'm savin' my love for you
Reserving affection for a specific person
I know for certain
Confident about a particular person
The one I love
The person I deeply care for
I'm through with flirtin'
Done with casual romantic interactions
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Constantly thinking about only one person
Ain't misbehavin'
Not engaging in misconduct
I'm savin' my love for you
Reserving affection for a specific person
Like Jack Horner
Similar to Jack Horner (a nursery rhyme character) - being content in a corner
In the corner
Metaphor for being content in a secluded place
Don't go nowhere
Not interested in going anywhere
What do I care?
Indifference to external circumstances
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Willing to wait for the significant other's affection
Believe me
Assurance in the worth of waiting for affection
I don't stay out late
Not staying out late
Don't care to go
No interest in going out
I'm home about eight
Returning home early in the evening
Just me and my radio
Being alone with personal entertainment (radio)
Ain't misbehavin'
Not engaging in misconduct
I'm savin' my love for you
Reserving affection for a specific person
Like Jack Horner
Similar to Jack Horner - content in a corner
In the corner
Metaphor for being content in a secluded place
Don't go nowhere
Not interested in going anywhere
What do I care?
Indifference to external circumstances
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Willingness to wait for affection
Believe me
Confidence in the worth of waiting for affection
I don't stay out late
Not staying out late
Don't care to go
No interest in going out
I'm home about eight
Returning home early in the evening
Just me and my radio
Being alone with personal entertainment (radio)
Ain't misbehavin'
Not engaging in misconduct
I'm savin' my love for you
Reserving affection for a specific person
