Hush now, don't explain
There ain't nothing to gain
I'm glad that you're back
There ain't nothing to gain
I'm glad that you're back
Don't explain
Quiet baby don't explain
There ain't nothing to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are for you
For I'm so completely yours
Don't wanna hear folks chatter
Cos I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me my sweet
Hush now, don't explain
Don't you know you're my pain
My life's your love
Don't explain
All my thoughts are for you
For I'm so completely yours
Don't wanna hear folks chatter
Cos I know you cheat
Right or 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's your love
Don't explain
