This tab may have a few mistakes (melody jumps around implausibly). If a line sounds wrong, tell us which one.

This plays the notes in order so you can hear how the tune goes. Tabs don’t record rhythm, so for the timing, listen to the original on YouTube. Tap any note in the tab to start from there.

No one to talk with,

All by my-self,

No one to walk with,

But I'm hap-py on the shelf

Ain't mis-be-hav-in',

I'm sav-in' my love for you

Like Jack Hor-ner in the cor-ner

Don't go no where, what do I care,

Your kiss-es are worth wait-in' for

Be-lieve me

I don't stay out late,

Don't care to go,

I'm home a-bout eight,

Just me and my ra-di-o

Ain't mis-be-hav-in',

I'm sav-in' my love for you
