"Don't Explain" lyrics

Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa Lyrics

"Don't Explain"
(originally by Billy Holiday)

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
I'm missed with some dame
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
Nothing rates above you
And I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right and wrong don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And when love endures
All my thoughts are of you
When I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right and 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, don't explain
