Duke Ellington
Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams 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 words of everyone 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 memories
And other's arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dream
Mama, it's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the words of others you've heard
Mama, 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, yes, the words in my heart reveal
How I feel about
Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other's arms may hold a thrill
Please do nothing till you hear it from me
Mama, you never will
