Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me

Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
music by Duke Ellington
lyric by Bob Russell

Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much.
Since everyone 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 shoiuld 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 memory and other 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 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 memory and other arms may hold a thrill;
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me and you never will.
Some kiss may cloud my memory; but please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will...
