Lyrics for Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me

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 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 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 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 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 Yeah, yeah Why people tear the seams of anyone's dream Is over my head At least consider our romance, baby And, now, you never will 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? 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
