Don’t Explain
(Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.)
Hush now, don’t explain
Just say you’ll remain
I’m glad your back
Don’t explain
Quiet, don’t explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don’t explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I’m so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don’t matter
When you’re with me, sweet
Hush now, don’t explain
You’re my joy and pain
My life’s yours love
Don’t explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
Nothing rates above you
When I’m so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
But right or wrong, don’t matter
When you’re with me, sweet
Hush now, don’t explain
You’re my joy and pain
My life’s yours, love
Don’t explain
