Keepin' Out of Mischief Now
Embracing Love's Serenity: Keepin' Out of Trouble
Lyrics
Don't even go to a movie show
Expressing a restriction, advising against going to a movie show without the speaker's presence.
If you're not by my side,
Stating the condition for the speaker's approval—being together.
I stay home by my radio,
Choosing to stay home and listen to the radio, suggesting contentment in solitude.
But I'm satisfied!
Claiming satisfaction with the current state of affairs.
All my flirtin' days are gone,
Indicating the end of a phase of casual romantic interactions.
On the level from now on!
Committing to sincerity and honesty from this point onward.
Don't go for any excitement now,
Rejecting the pursuit of excitement, valuing the company of books instead.
Books are my best company.
Declaring a change in perspective, embracing a more traditional mindset.
All my opinions have changed somehow,
Highlighting a shift in personal beliefs.
Old-fashioned as can be!
Affirming that true care brings satisfaction, finding joy in solitude.
When you really learn to care,
Emphasizing the thrill of being alone and content when one genuinely cares.
There's a thrill in solitaire!
Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or transition in thought.
Keepin' ou of mischief now,
Reiterating the intention to avoid mischievous behavior.
Really am in love, and how!
Affirming genuine love and commitment.
I'm through playing with fire,
Expressing a decision to stop playing with risky situations.
It's you whom I desire!
Declaring a strong desire for the person being addressed.
All the world can plainly see
Asserting that the entire world can see the exclusivity of the speaker's affections.
You're the only one for me!
Declaring the addressee as the only one for the speaker.
I've told them in advance
Communicating a forewarning to others that attempts to break the romance will fail.
They can't break up our romance!
Reaffirming the strength of the romantic bond against external interference.
Living up to every vow,
Committing to fulfill every promise made.
I'm keepin' out of mischief now!
Reiterating the commitment to avoiding mischief and maintaining fidelity.
All the world can plainly see
Repeating the sentiment that everyone can see the exclusivity of the speaker's affections.
That you're the only one for me!
Reaffirming the addressee as the sole object of affection.
Say I've told them, told them in advance
Stating the forewarning to others once again.
That they can't break up our romance!
Reiterating the resilience of the romantic relationship against outside interference.
Living up to every vow,
Affirming the commitment to uphold every promise made.
I'm keepin', keepin' out of mischief now!
Concluding with a repetition of the commitment to avoid mischief and stay faithful.
