Lyrics for Don't Explain

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 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 You know that I love you And what love endures Nothing rates above 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
