Hush now, don't explain
There ain't nothing to gain
Well I'm glad that you're back
But don't explain

Quiet baby, don't explain
You know 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 of you
I am so completely yours

Don't wanna hear nobody chatter
'Cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong, it don't matter
When you're with me sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You are my joy
And you're my pain
My life is your love
So don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
I am so completely yours

Don't wanna hear folks chatter
'Cause I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush now, don't explain
No, you're my joy and you're my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain

    i absolutely love this song. my girlfriend and i broke up, and then got back together, and i remember saying the same sort of things to her (though neither of us never cheated), so it just sorta brings back memories (sad though they be). i remember when we were broken up, though, i couldn't listen to this song because it was so heart-wrenching. amazing song though
