Billie Holiday
Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone
[Verse 1]
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice

[Bridge]
We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss I hope that this brings
Lots of luck to you

[Verse 2]
Makes no difference how I carry on
Just don't you talk about me when I'm gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
Just don't talk at all, that's my advice

[Bridge]
We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
But here's a little kiss and I hope that this brings
Lots of luck to you
[Outro]
Makes no difference how I carry on
Just don't talk
Please don't talk
Don't you talk about me when I'm gone
