(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
