Ain't Misbehavin'
Barbara Morrison Lyrics

The lyrics to Barbara Morrison's song Ain't Misbehavin' describe the contentment that comes from being in love with someone and devoting oneself to that person. The singer of the song speaks to her lack of social companionship, but notes that she is content with being alone because she knows that the one she loves is waiting for her. The line "Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you" encapsulates this sentiment. They note flirting with other people is now out of the question, and that devotion has taken over.

The verse “Like Jack Horner in the corner, don't go nowhere, what do I care? Your kisses are worth waiting for, believe me” offers an insight into just how sacred the 'you' in the song is to the singer. She likens herself to Jack Horner, who, in the nursery rhyme, pulled a plum from a pie and was thrilled enough to sit in the corner and relish it completely by himself. The singer is content to wait for her love to come, and she treasures his kisses so much that they're all she needs. The song's optimistic, lighthearted mood emphasizes the joy of being in love, as well as the purity and commitment that can come with it.
