Keepin' Out of Mischief Now
Fumio Yasuda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're not by my side
I stay home by my radio
But I'm satisfied
All my flirtin' days are gone
On the level from now on
Don't go for any excitement now
All my opinions have changed somehow
Old-fashioned as can be
When you really learn to care
There's a thrill in Solitaire
Keepin' out of mischief now
Really am in love, and how!
I'm through playing with fire
It's you whom I desire
All the world can plainly see
You're the only one for me
I've told them in advance
They can't break up our romance
Living up to every vow
I'm keepin' out of mischief now
All the world can plainly see
That you're the only one for me
Say I've told them, told them in advance
That they can't break up our romance
Living up to every vow
I'm keepin', keepin' out of mischief now

Don't even go to a movie show

I stay home by my radio
I'm content staying at home listening to music
But I'm satisfied
I'm content with my current situation
