GOOD BEHAVIOUR
Charles Singleton / Larry Coleman

as rec by Keely Smith  1957


I cross my heart to you,
Every word I say is true!

I've been on my good behaviour,
darling, while you were away.
All I did was think about you,
Each and every night and day!

I swear by all above
I have known no other love!

Every promise that I made you,
I've kept each and every one!
I've been on my good behaviour,
Heaven knows that's all I've done!

And here's my hand to you,
I did what you told me to!

You told me not to go to dances,
For that's where new romances start!
And so I didn't go to any dances,
And nobody's tampered with my heart
When we were apart!

'Cause darlin', I've been much too busy,
Waiting for you patiently.
I've been on my good behaviour,
Tryin' to make you proud of me!

So cuddle closer dear,
Let me kiss away your fear!

You told me not to go to dances,
For that's where new romances start!
And so I didn't go to any dances,
And nobody's tampered with my heart
When we were apart!

'Cause darlin', I've been much too busy,
Waiting for you patiently.
I've been on my good behaviour,
Tryin' to make you proud of me!
