Oh I'll be savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you,
Yes I'll be savin' myself,
Makin' myself true blue.
Why should I start slavin' myself
For somebody else that's new?
I'll just keep savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you!

I'll never go romancin',
Takin' a chance on love.
Why could I find romancin'?
For the sake of a thrill
I'd just kill our love!

Oh I'll be ravin' at times,
Be gravin' at times when I'm blue,
But I'll keep savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you!

While you're away I'll be lonesome,
The vows that I made will hold true.
I'll be in exile to love dear,
For here's how I feel about you.

Oh I'll be savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you,
Yes I'll keep savin' myself,
Makin' myself true blue.
Why should I start slavin' myself
For somebody else that's new?
I'll just keep savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you!

I'll never go romancin',
Takin' a chance on love.
Why could I find romancin'?
For the sake of a thrill
I'd just kill our love!

Oh I'll be ravin' at times,
Be gravin' at times when I'm blue,
But I'll keep savin' myself,
Behavin' myself for you!
