Duke Ellington
Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me
Someone told someone and someone told you
And they wouldn't hurt you, not much
Since everyone spreads the story
With their own little personal touch
Do nothing 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 nothing 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 memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I've been untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And, darling, you never will
