Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do nothing 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 nothing 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
[Verse 3]
True, I've been seen with someone new
But that doesn't mean that I've been untrue
Though we're apart
These words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
[Verse 4]
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill, yeah
But please do nothing
Till you hear it from me
And you never, never will
Never will, never will
[Verse 5]
True, I've been seen
With somebody new
That doesn't mean
That I've been untrue
Though we're apart
These words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Oh, listen to me now
[Verse 6]
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, never will
No, you never will
Don't believe what they say
'Cause I didn't do it
Take my word that it's you I love
And hold on to it
Do absolutely nothing
Till you hear it
Hear it from me
Written by: Bob Russell, Duke Ellington
