"Don't Talk to Him" is a song by Cliff Richard and The Shadows, released as a single in November 1963. It peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and received a silver disc for 250,000 sales.
The music for "Don't Talk to Him" was composed by Shadows guitarist Bruce Welch. He then asked Cliff if he would write the lyrics. However, Cliff has said that he was "sort of scared of writing", but agreed to "have a go". He recalled he "took it back to the cottage where I was staying. We were in Blackpool. And I sat down one night and played it through on my guitar and came up with the lyrics"
This was a suggestion from Olav who kindly sent me Roger Paulsson’s backing.
Many thanks Olav 😊

Lyrics
If some guy tells you, I don't care
And tells you lies, while I'm not there
Don't talk to him
And if he tells you, I'm untrue
Then darling, here's what you must do
Don't talk to him
And if he tells you, I've been seen
Walking round with Sue and Jean
He's lying again (lying again)
Do anything that you want to
But darling, this I beg of you
Don't talk to him
If you hear the words he has to say
He'll break your heart
Let your love for me prove strong
While we are far apart
So just remember what I say
And trust in me, while I'm away
For I'll be true
And just remember
My true love is brighter than the moon above
For only you
And if this guy should try to say
My love for you is only play
Merely a whim (merely a whim)
Just close your eyes and count to ten
Think of me again
But don't you talk to him
And if he tells you, I've been seen
Walking round with Sue and Jean
He's lying again (lying again)
Do anything that you want to
But darling, this I beg of you
Don't talk to him
If you hear the words he has to say
He'll break your heart
Let your love for me prove strong
While we are far apart
So just remember what I say
Trust in me, while I'm away
For I'll be true
And just remember
My true love is brighter than the moon above
For only you
And if this guy should try to say
My love for your is only play
Merely a whim (merely a whim)
Close your eyes, count to ten
Think of me again
But don't you talk to him
