Arthur herzog jr, billie holiday
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
Unless you're mad, don't explain
My love, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that i love you
And what loving does
All my thoughts are real
For i'm so completely yours
Try 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 love and pain
My life's your love
Don't explain
