Nina Simone
"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"

(1943) duke ellington, bob russell
Do nothin' till you hear from mePay no attention to what's saidWhy people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from meAt least consider our romanceIf you should take the word of others you've heardDon't you know, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with somebody newBut 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 memoryAnd others arms may hold a thrillBut please do nothin' till you hear from meAnd baby you never will
Original lyric

Someone told someone and someone told youBut they wouldn't hurt you, not muchSine ev'ry one spreads the storyWith his own little personal touch
Do nothin' till you hear from mePay no attention to what's saidWhy people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from meAt least consider our romanceIf you should take the word of others you've heardI haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone newBut does that mean that I'm untrue? When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about youSome kiss may cloud my memroyAnd others arms may hold a thrillBut please do nothin' till you hear from meAnd you never will
