Billie Holiday
Don’t Explain (First Version)
Hush now, don't explain
I know you raise cain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
You mix with some dame
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And when love endures
Nothing rates above 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
You know that I love you
And when love endures
Nothing rates above you
When 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, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
