Hush now, don't explain
There's nothin' to gain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain

Hush now, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
I'm so completely yours
Don't hear folks chatter
Cause I know that you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy, you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you

Cause I know that you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush, don't explain
You're my joy, you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain

Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your 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 that love endures
All my thoughts are 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
