BILLIE HOLIDAY - PLEASE, DON'T TALK ABOUT ME WHEN I'M GONE lyrics

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Honey, though our friendship ceases from now on

And if you can't say anything uptight

It's better not to talk at all, is my advice

We're parting, you'll go your way, I'll go mine

I have just this to do

Give a little kiss and hope that it brings

Lots of love to you

Makes no difference how Jerry carries on (but I'll make it, baby!)

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Please don't talk about me, honey, when I'm gone

Though our friendship ceases from now on

And if you can't say anything real nice

You better not talk at all, is Jerry's advice

We're parting, you'll go your way, I'll go mine

I have just this to do

Here's a little kiss, I hope it brings

Lots and lots of love to you

Makes no difference how I carry on

Please don't talk about me

Please don't talk about me

Please don't talk about me

Please don't talk about me

Please don't talk about me

Please don't talk about me, honey

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
