The Silent Treatment (8/21/56)

The Silent Treatment - Ella Fitzgerald

The silent treatment

The icy shoulder

There's nothin' colder

It never fails

If from his lies and alibi-in'

You're in distress

And to combat it you've been tryin'

But more or less

Without success

A diet

Of deadly quiet

Can be a sure cure for all that ails

Man knows it only mean disaster

For he'll never be the master of

The silent treatment the weapon of a woman in love

A diet

Of deadly quiet

Can be a sure cure for all that ails

Man knows it only mean disaster

For he'll never be the master of

The silent treatment the weapon of a woman in love

Forgive him without an explanation

With kisses instead of conversation

As the silent treatment the weapon of a woman in love
