Lyric Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me

(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
