The Silent Treatment

The Silent Treatment (置之不理) - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Donald Kahn/Jule Styne

The silent treatment

The icy shoulder

There's nothin' colder

It never fails

If from his lies and alibiin'

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
