Don’t Explain
Arthur Herzog Jr., Billie Holiday
Hush now don't explain
I know you raise Cain
I’m glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, don’t explain
You mixed with some dame
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
But right and wrong don't matter when you're with me sleep
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don’t explain
