Lyrics

Don't Explain

[Verse 1:]

Hush now, don't explain

Just say you'll remain

I'm glad you're back

Don't explain

Quiet, don't explain

What is there to gain?

Skip that lipstick

Don't explain

[Verse 2:]

You know that I love you

And what 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
