(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.) 
 
 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 back the lipstick
 don't explain.
 
 You know that I love you
 and what love endures
 all my thoughts of you
 for I'm so completely yours
 Don't want to hear folks chatter
 'cause I know you cheat
 Right n' 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 of you, for I'm so completely yours.
 I don't want to hear nobody chatter
 'cause I know you cheat,
 right n' wrong don't matter
 when you're with me my sweet.
 
 Hush now, don't explain
 you're my joy, you're my pain
 My life is yours love
 don't explain.
