This was written by the late great Fats Waller, most people have heard the Leon Redbone version of it

<B>Ain't Misbehavin</B>

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
Like Jack Horner, in the corner,

F#7 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 rad-I-o.

E7 C#m7 F#m7 B7 E A Am7 E B7 E6
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you.

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

Thank you for the song. I was listening to a Taylor promotional Cd (Sounds of Wood and Steel #3) and heard a version of it that was spectacular. I found a fingerpicking version that was beyond me so this is apropos. Hank Williams Jr. also does a nice version of it
