I WON'T BELIEVE IT (TILL I HEAR IT FROM YOU)
(Block / Selsman / Robinson)

as recorded by
Thomas "Fats" Waller & His Rhythm
October 13th 1938 New York


Gossip's goin' round, rumours everywhere,
Everybody says we're through,
But I won't believe it
Till I hear it from you!

As I walk along, friends all turn and stare,
What they're saying makes me blue,
I ain't gonna pay no attention to it,
I won't even believe it, no,
Till I hear it from you!

You can't have forgotten the vows that we made,
I can't believe you would try!
Just let them all whisper, why, I'm not afraid,
Love like ours can never die, never die!

Give me just a word, give me just a sign, yeah,
And I'll know it's all untrue!
Nothin', I ain't payin' no attention to it,
I won't even believe it, won't believe it
Till I hear it from you!

Give me just a word, give me just a sign,
I know all that mess is untrue, yeah!
Yeah, 'cause I ain't payin' no attention to it,
I won't even believe it,
Baby, till I hear it from you!
Yeah!
