Artist/Band: Dinah Washington
Lyrics for Song: Don't Say Nothing At All
Lyrics for Album: Very Best Of [2006]



If you can't say that you still love me



Don't tell me no lies when you call



If you can't say that you still need me



Then why say anything at all



If you can't say that you're sorry



For all the tears you've caused before



If you can't tell my heart is breakin'



Then why say anything at all



It's better not to speak a word



If those crumbs of tongue cause you pain



It's better not to let it be heard



Those lies you tell in vain



So if you can't say, I'm still your baby



Then all you say on deaf ears fall



Just walk away without a word, dear



And don't say nothin' at all



Please, don't say nothin' at all


Don't Say Nothing At All

Dinah Washington's 'Don't Say Nothing At All' stands as a quintessential example of her mastery over the swing and jazz standards of the mid-20th century. Recorded with her signature vocal style, the track showcases her ability to blend emotional depth with rhythmic precision, a hallmark of her career. The song reflects the era's popular songbook tradition, where vocalists interpreted classic compositions with unique personal flair. Washington's rendition captures the melancholic yet resilient spirit often found in her discography, making it a defining piece of her artistic legacy. Her performance remains a testament to her influence on vocal jazz and her enduring appeal within the genre.
