Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

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
