Don't Explain

Don't Explain
music & lyric by Arthur Herzog, Jr.
& Billie Holiday

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 endures,
All my thoughts 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...
