Written by Duke Ellington and Bob Russell

Do nothing 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 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

True, I've been seen with someone new
That doesn't mean I've been untrue?
While we're apart, all 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 till you hear it from me
And you never will!
