Don't Explain (08-14-45) - Billie Holiday

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 that love endures

All my thoughts are 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
