Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems we can't get along,
No matter what I do
I don't appeal to you
Makes no difference whether
I am right or wrong
If we can't be sweethearts
This much you can do
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Oh, Honey, though our friendship ceases from now on
And listen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice
We're parting, you go your way, I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a kiss, I hope that this brings lots of luck to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
Just remember
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone.
As recorded by Kay Starr.
The lyrics to the song "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" by The Rat Pack convey the message of the importance of avoiding negativity and speaking kindly about others. The song reflects on the idea of friendship and relationships, as it suggests that parting ways is better than speaking negatively about someone. The lyrics offer advice on how to part with someone: by giving them a kiss and wishing them luck. The song implies that we should leave people in peace, and even if we are hurt, we should not focus on the negative aspects of others.
The song also reminds us that we never know when we might need the kindness of others. Life is unpredictable, and we may encounter situations where we require the support of those we have spoken ill of in the past. Therefore, we should try to cultivate positive relationships and speak positively about others.
Overall, the song teaches us to value and cherish our relationships, even if they come to an end. We should not tarnish our memories or the impressions we leave behind by engaging in negative gossip.
