You Don't Have To Tell Me 1941 JPitt-Payne

It's all over town
that you're letting me down
after I loved you so
but you'll realise
that a fool can be wise
that's all I want you to know.

You don't have to tell me,
I know,
the touch of your lips
told me so
and I know in my heart
that we're drifting apart
but if you love another,
then I'll let you go.
But someday
you'll find your mistake
and whose heart
is going to break
when the new love
forsakes you?
It's the old love
that takes you
it's no use pretending
and so you don't have to tell me,
I know.

You don't have to tell me,
I know,
the touch of your lips
told me so
and I know in my heart
that we're drifting apart
but if you love another,
then I'll let you go.
But someday
you'll find your mistake
and whose heart
is going to break
when the new love
forsakes you?
It's the old love
that takes you
it's no use pretending
and so you don't have to tell me,
I know.

You told me a lie
just for no reason why
saying you cared for me
but somehow I knew
that each word wasn't true
and it was so plain to see.

You don't have to tell me,
I know,
the touch of your lips
told me so
and I know in my heart
that we're drifting apart
but if you love another,
then I'll let you go.
But someday
you'll find your mistake
and whose heart
is going to break
when the new love
forsakes you?
It's the old love
that takes you
it's no use pretending
and so you don't have to tell me,
I know.

You don't have to tell me,
I know,
the touch of your lips
told me so
and I know in my heart
that we're drifting apart
but if you love another,
then I'll let you go.
But someday
you'll find your mistake
and whose heart
is going to break
when the new love
forsakes you?
It's the old love
that takes you
it's no use pretending
and so you don't have to tell me,
I know.
