(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.) 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 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
