Don't explain
Don't Explain | |
"Hush now, don't explain | Hush now, don't explain |
You're my joy and pain | You're my joy and pain |
I'm glad you're back | I'm glad you're back |
Don't explain | Don't explain |
Quiet, don't explain | You know that I love you |
I'm missed with some dame | And when love endures |
Skip that lipstick | All my thoughts are of you |
Don't explain | When I'm so completely yours |
You know that I love you | Cry to hear folks chatter |
And what love endures | And I know you cheat |
Nothing rates above you | Right and wrong don't matter |
And I'm so completely yours | When you're with me, sweet |
Cry to hear folks chatter | Hush now, don't explain |
And I know you cheat | You're my joy and pain |
Right and wrong don't matter | My life's yours, love |
When you're with me, sweet | Don't explain, don't explain" |

Contra Mundum: Looks like Mary Osborne on guitar. And cool that Billie changes up the lyrics in the beginning, singing "I know you raise Cain" instead of "Just say you'll remain".
