Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me lyrics
by Duke Ellington
[Preamble]
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
[Verse 1]
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dream
Is over my head
[Verse 2]
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Mama, I haven't a chance
[Bridge]
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm not true?
When we're apart, yes, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
[Verse 3]
Some kiss may cloud my memories
And other's arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dream
Is over my head
[Verse 2]
(Scat)
At least consider our romance, baby
And, now, you never will
[Bridge]
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm not true?
When we're apart, yes, words in my heart
I feel, how about you?
[Verse 3]
Some kiss may cloud my memories
Other's arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me, mama
And you never will
And you never will
