They Say

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

They say you have no lips

For a fool such as I

They say you just believe

In hello and goodbye



And they say that the one I admire

Isn't even remotely concerned

And that I'll go on playing with fire

Until I have learned, my heart has been burned



They say I shouldn't dream

Of your face in the moon

They say all of my dreams will be

Nightmares too soon



Let them talk, let them think what they want to

If it makes them feel happy that way

I know, I'll always love you

No matter what they say
