Don’t Explain Songtext
von Abbey Lincoln

Hush now
Don’t explain
Just say you remain
I’m glad you’re back
Don’t explain
Hush now
Don’t explain
You’re my joy and pain
Skip that lipstick
Don’t explain
You know that I love you
And what loving does All my thoughts of you
For I’m so completely yours
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
Just say
You remain
I’m glad you’re back


Don’t explain
Hush now
Don’t explain
Just say you remain
I’m glad you’re back
Don’t explain
Hush now
Don’t explain
You’re my joy and pain
Skip that lipstick
Don’t explain
You know that I love you
And what loving does
All my thoughts of you
For I’m so completely yours
Cried 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
Just say you remain
I’m glad you’re back
Don’t explain
