No Strings - You Don't Tell Me Lyrics

1962 Broadway
No Strings the Musical - You Don't Tell Me Lyrics


The song is written by Richard Rodgers.

You don't teach a kid to drink milk
Or a mackerel to swim in the sea
And when the magic hour approaches lover
You don't tell me
You don't teach the ocean to roll
Or an English man 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 you sister
But don't...
You don't tell me

No Strings the Musical Lyrics

The Sweetest Sounds
How Sad to Be a Woman
Loads of Love
Be My Host
You Don't Tell Me
Look No Further
An Orthodox Fool
