TELL ME MORE AND MORE AND THEN  SOME
(Billie Holiday 1940)

Billie Holiday & her Orchestra
recorded June 7th 1940 
New York


Tell me more and more and then some,
You know what I long to hear!
I want more and more and then some
Of that "I love you only!", dear.

Tell me more and more and then some,
The way that you feel, and then,
When you've told that old sweet story
And you're through, start right in again!

I've made that old mistake,
Know the awful ache
Of a heart that's double crossed.
The waitin's been so long,
It's hard to be believin';
If I've missed my guess, happiness is lost!

Tell me more and more and then some,
You know how I love that stuff!
Whisper on from now till doomsday,
But I never will hear enough!

I've made that old mistake,
Know the awful ache
Of a heart that's double crossed.
The waitin's been so long,
It's hard to be believin';
If I've missed my guess, happiness is lost!

Tell me more and more and then some,
You know that I love that stuff!
Whisper on from now till doomsday,
But I never will hear enough!
