"Don't Explain" lyrics

"Don't Explain"

Hush now don't explain
I know you raise Cain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

Cry to hear folk's 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 your love
Don't explain

My life's your love
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

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Don't explain
Don't explain
