Hush now, don't explain
There ain't nothing to gain
Well I'm glad that you're back
But don't explain
Quiet baby, don't explain
You know there ain't nothing 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 am so completely yours
Don't wanna hear nobody chatter
'Cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong, it don't matter
When you're with me sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You are my joy
And you're my pain
My life is your love
So don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
I am so completely yours
Don't wanna hear folks chatter
'Cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When I'm with you sweet
Hush now, don't explain
No, you're my joy and you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain
