“They Say“ Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra = song by Edward Heyman, Paul Mann LYRICS
Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra
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.

My rule of thumb for Billie Holiday records is this--the earlier, the better.
I adore the very earliest recordings (“Your Mother’s Son-In-Law“ and “Riffin’ The Scotch“ from 1933), but I also see 1937-1938 as a high point.
The 1940s were uneven for Billie, and almost nothing by Billie from the 1950s holds my attention.
