Ain't Misbehavin'
The Quintet of The Hot Club of France featuring Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli Lyrics

The lyrics of "Ain't Misbehavin'" express the sentiment of being content in solitude while waiting for the one you love. The song suggests the singer and the person they love are in a long-distance relationship or otherwise unable to be physically together at the moment. The first verse sets the stage by describing the singer's loneliness: they have no one to talk or walk with, yet they are "happy on the shelf," meaning they are content to spend time alone because they know their love is waiting for them. The chorus repeats the refrain "Ain't misbehavin'," which means the singer is staying loyal and true to their love even when they are apart.

The second verse reinforces the theme of fidelity and waiting by stating that the singer is no longer interested in flirting or seeking the attention of others because they are only thinking of their love. The line "Your kisses are worth waitin' for" suggests that the singer is willing to endure the long wait until they can be reunited with their love because the reward will be worth it. The final verse puts a bow on the sentiment of the song by proclaiming that the singer is not interested in going out and partying because they just want to be at home with their radio, thinking of their love.
