You Don't Tell Me Songtext
von Richard Rodgers

You don′t teach a kid to drink milk
Or a mackerel to swim in the sea
And when the magic "R" approaches, lover
You don't tell me

You don′t teach the ocean to roll
Or an Englishman how to drink tea
And when affection starts to take me over
You don't tell me

Only yesterday
I was green as May
Now I have to say
I'm wise to certain symptoms


The young have an option on youth
I′m as young as I ever will be
I really understand that moment of truth
You don′t tell me

Only yesterday
I was green as May
Now I have to say
I'm wise to certain symptoms

The young have an option on youth
I′m as young as I ever will be
I really understand that moment of truth
You don't tell me

Go tell your brother
Go tell your sister
But don′t
You don't tell me
