Dinah Washington
Don’t Explain
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
