BILLIE HOLIDAY - DO NOTHIN' TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME lyrics

Duke Ellington / Bob Russell

Some-one told some-one and some-one told you

But they wouldn't hurt you, not much,

Since ev'ryone spread the story

With his own little personal touch.

Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

Pay no attention to what's said

Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head.

Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

At least consider our romance

If you should take the word of others you've heard

I haven't a chance

True I've been seen with someone new

But does that mean that I'm untrue?

When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you.

Some kiss may cloud my memory

And other arms may hold a thrill

But please do nothin' till you hear it from me

And you never will.
