Don't Explain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my
Trouble and pain
Unless you're mad
Don't explain
My love, my love, my love
Don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what loving has done
All my thoughts were real
And so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know I hear folks cha-cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, that don't matter
You're here with me
Sit down, have a sit
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to weep
Don't explain
Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing within me now to gain
I'm gonna skip it instead
Don't explain
Don't explain
