Lyrics

Hi there, fellas Whatcha say? This a little Fats Waller My mother's 285 pounds of jam, jive, and everything They got me in on this V-diss mess this afternoon So here it is! Watch out! One of my own compositions Ain't Misbehavin' And I ain't either Aw yes, oh hell of a yeah No one to talk with All by myself No one to walk with But I'm happy on the elevation, I mean the shelf Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you And you, and you, oh and you I know for certain The one I love I'm through with flirtin' It's you that I'm thinkin' of Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you Oh, hi Daddy Like Jack Horner in the corner Don't go nowhere What do I care Your kisses are worth waitin' for Believe me I don't stay out late I don't care to go I'm home about eight Just me and my neighbor's radio (I can't afford one) Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you Savin' my love just for you Ah, shucks Daddy I love it when you move No one to talk with All by myself No one to walk with but - who? Her? Oh, she's nobody She's just a little girl She just came to drop off some Girl Scout cookies Ain't misbehavin' I'm savin' my love for you I know for certain The one I love What do you mean, you didn't know Girl Scouts deliver? They do, yes Ain't misbehavin' Savin' my love for you Like Jack Horner in the corner Don't go nowhere What do I care Your kisses are worth waitin' for Mm, but while we're waiting I don't stay out late I'm always home, baby (Don't care to go) Don't wanna go nowhere I'm home about eight, just me and my radio Ain't misbehavin' Daddy, I can explain the whole thing! Ain't misbehavin' Sweetheart, he forced me! Ain't misbehavin' Savin' my love for you! Looking good but feeling bad From grievin' over you Lookin' good to hide those bitter blues Weary days and lonely nights I'm waiting here for you Hoping that my love you won't refuse Roh doh doh doh doh doh doh Roh doh doh doh doh Roh doh doh doh doh doh doh Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah Looking good but feeling bad Is mighty hard to do When I'm feelin' blue And needing you And needing you Roh doh doh doh doh doh doh Roh doh doh doh doh Roh doh doh doh doh doh doh Roh doh doh doh doh doh doh If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean 'Tain't nobody's business if I do If I go to church on Sunday The cabaret all day on Monday 'Tain't nobody's business if I do If my friend ain't got no money And I say "Take all mine, honey" 'Tain't nobody's business if I do If I give her my last nickel And that leaves me in a pickle 'Tain't nobody's business if I do There ain't nothing I can do Nor nothing I can say That folks don't criticize me But I'm going to do Just as I want to anyway And don't care if they all despise me Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah If I work and come home draggin' Then stay up all night raggin' Ain't nobody's business if I do If I eat three turkey dinners And announce that's just beginners Ain't nobody's business if I do If I date a real stone setter But go home with someone better Ain't nobody's business if I do If I party, stay out drinkin' And buy me a ten-grand Lincoln Ain't nobody's business if I do If I feed my wife baloney And don't pay my alimony 'Tain't nobody's business if I do If I buy something sporty If I die before I'm forty It ain't your business It ain't my business It ain't her business It ain't their business 'Tain't nobody's business if I do!
