Ain't Misbehavin' Lyrics

Artist: Ella Fitzgerald
Album: Ella & Basie

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 through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm 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
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'
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
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'
Savin' my love for you
Ain't misbehavin'
Savin' my love for you

tempo is way too slow. This swing tune should be more up tempo for effect.

This song was not written by Ella Fitzgerald. Andy Razaf, Harry Brooks and Fats Waller.

josi, Ella and Basie blew this tune at exactly 80 bpm as a beautiful blues ballad. Most rather pedestrian arrangements do take the tune up tempo. And they all turn out ricky tick twentys sounding. But Ella and the Count showed how it should be done. And how Razaf and Waller intended it.

Actually this is just the way Ella sang it - listening to it as I type, in fact. No mistakes, it's her version.
