Duke Ellington
Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me
Someone told someone, then someone told you
But they really couldn't hurt you that much
Seems everyone spread the story
With his own little touch
Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams
Of other one's dreams, is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should heed the word
Of others you've heard, I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with somebody 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 haunt my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
Don't do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will, no you never will, baby
Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams
Of other one's dreams, is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should heed the word
Of others you've heard, I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with somebody 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 haunt my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But don't do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
Baby you never will
Believe me baby when I say, you never will
