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".
