Ain't Misbehavin' (I'm Savin' My Love for You) - Leon Redbone

I never really believed in a Santa And thought that all the fairy tales were fake And all these stories about love and the moon and stars above I would tell all of my friends its just a phase A silly phase I used to think that joy was just a rumor And happiness was all too much the same But since the day that I found you all of these things became true Now dreams and all these things i can do (Merry christmas baby) Sorry I could not be there with you But I pray everything is okay I want you to know that i'm missing you And my heart is with you though i'm far away So tell me how's the dog, the house, family, and friends? Want you to let em all know that I wish them well And I promise i'll be coming home real soon But while i'm gone just keep checking your mail Cuz i'm sending a lifetime of kisses

No one to talk with, all by myself No one to walk with, but I'm happy on the shelf Ain't misbehavin' Savin' my love for you For you, for you, for 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' 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, no place to go I'm home about eight, just me and my radio Ain't misbehavin' Savin' all my love for you I don't stay out late, got no place to go I'm home about eight, just me and my radio Ain't misbehavin' Savin' my love for you

Lazy bones, sleepin' in the sun, How you 'spect to get your day's work done? You'll never get your day's work done sleepin' in the noon day sun. Lazy bones, sleepin' in the shade, How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made? You'll never get your cornmeal made sleepin' in the evening shade. When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine; And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' That the fish won't grab at your line. Lazy bones, loafin' through the day, How you 'spect to make a dime that way? You'll never make a dime that way. Never heard a word I say. When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin' The bugs fall off the vine; And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin' That the fish won't grab at your line. Lazy bones, loafin' through the day, How you 'spect to make a dime that way? You'll never make a dime that way. Never heard a word I say.
