SAVING MYSELF FOR YOU
Ella Fitzgerald & her Savoy Eight   
rec May 3rd 1938 New York

Also-
Bea Wain


I've been saving myself for you,
Just you, no-one but you!
I've saved my heart in your name,
It's for you to claim some day.

Then behaving myself for you,
Just you, no-one but you!
Because you'd never forgive
A kiss I might give away.

I'll keep myself to myself,
And in the long run I'll win;
I'll keep myself to myself,
Because I know that you've been

Saving your love for me, just me,
And come what may,
Until we're together
I'm saving myself for you!

I'll keep myself to myself,
And in the long run I'll win;
I'll keep myself to myself,
Because I know that you've been

Saving your love for me, just me,
And come what may,
Until we're together
I'm saving myself for you!
