(1943) Duke Ellington, Bob Russell
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
Don`t you know, I haven`t a chance
True I`ve been seen with somebody new
But does that mean that I`m been untrue?
When we`re apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And others arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin` till you hear from me
And baby you never will
Original lyric
Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn`t hurt you, not much
Sine ev`ry one spreads 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 memroy
And others arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin` till you hear from me
And you never will
