Keepin' Out Of Mischief Now - Shirley Horn

Don’t even go to a movie show

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

Books are my best company

All my opinions have changed somehow

Old-fashioned as can be!

When you really learn to care

There’s a thrill in solitaire!

Keepin' ou 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!
