Lyrics: Bob Russell
Music: Duke Ellington
Played by J D Souther with Bob Weir & Wolf Bros during their run of shows in April 2023 at the Guild Theatre, Menlo Park
Do nothing 'til 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 'til you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Then I haven't a chance
Though I've been seen with somebody new
But does that mean that 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 memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing 'til you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothing 'til 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 'til you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Baby I haven't a chance
It's true I've been seen with somebody new
But does that mean that 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 memories
And other arms may hold a thrill
But just do nothing 'til you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothing 'til you hear it from me
And baby you never will
