Don't Explain

Nina Simone · Let It All Out [2006]

Hush now, don't explain

There ain't nothin' to gain

I'm glad that you're back

Don't explain



Quiet, baby, don't explain

There is nothing to gain

Skip that, the 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



Don't want to hear folks chatter

'Cause I know you cheat

Right and wrong don't matter

When you're with me, my sweet



Hush, now, don't explain

Don't you know

You're my joy and you're my pain?

My life is yours, love

Don't explain



All my thoughts are of you

For I'm so completely yours

Don't want to hear nobody chatter

'Cause I know you cheat

Right and wrong don't matter

When you're with me, my sweet



Hush, now, don't explain

You're my joy and you're my pain

My life is yours, love

Don't explain
