Lyrics

  1. Tho it’s a fickle age
    With flirting all the rage
    Here is one bird with self-control
    Happy inside my cage
    I know who I love best
    Thumbs down for all the rest
    My love was given, heart and soul
    So it can stand the test

Chorus
No one to talk with, all by myself
No one to walk with, but I’m happy on the shelf
Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m savin’ my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I’m thru with flirtin’, it’s just you I’m thinkin’ of
Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m savin’ my love for you
Little Jack Horner in the corner
Don’t go no-where, what do I care
Your kisses are worth waitin’ for, believe me
I don’t stay out late, don’t care to go
I’m home about eight, just me and my radio
Ain’t misbehavin’, I’m savin’ my love for you

  1. Your type of man is rare
    I know you really care
    That’s why my conscience never sleeps
    When you’re away somewhere
    Sure was a lucky day
    When fate sent you my way
    And made you mine alone for keeps
    Ditto to all you say
