Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me

(album: Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot & Cool - 1999)

Come, let's take the A train
Duke's songs will take you right straight up to heaven

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

Do nothing 'til you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams
Of anyone's dream is over my head

Do nothing 'til you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the words
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 memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please, do nothing 'til you hear it from me
You never will

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me
You never will, never will
You never will
