Introd: E7 C#m7 F#m7 B7 E A7 B7    
 
E7         C#m7    F#m7      B7 
No one to talk to, all by myself; 
E7         G#7             A7         Am       Am7 
No one to walk with, I'm happy on the shelf; 
E7         C#m7   F#m7           B7          E    C#m7   F#7    B7 
Ain't misbehavin,     I'm saving my love for you. 
E7           C#m7     F#m7           B7 
Now it's for certain,     the one I love; 
E7                G#7           A7           Am      Am7 
I'm through with flirtin' it's just you I'm thinkin' of. 
E7        C#m7  F#m7            B7          E    A7   B7   G#7  
Ain't misbehavin,   I'm saving my love for you. 
Bridge: 
C#m7                  A7                      F#7                        
Like Jack Horner,   in the corner, 
                               C#7 
Don't go no where what do I care? 
F#7           C#m7         F#7      B7         C   B7 
Your kisses are worth waiting for, believe me. 
E7            C#m7      F#m7         B7 
I don't stay out late, don't care to go; 
E7         G#7               A7         Am       Am7 
I'm home about eight, just me and my radIo. 
E7         C#m7    F#m7          B7           E   A   Am7   E   B7   E6 
Ain't misbehavin',    I'm savin' my love for you.
