Billie Holiday - Please, Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone

Lyrics

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

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

Makes no difference how I carry on

Just don't you talk about me when I'm gone

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

We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine, it's best that we do

But here's a kiss and I hope that this brings lots of luck to you

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
