Don't Explain
Love's Silent Language: Embracing Life's Complexities with Clifford Brown
Lyrics
Hush now don't explain
Hush now, don't provide reasons or excuses
I know you raise Cain
I know you cause trouble or chaos
I'm glad you're back
I'm happy that you've returned
Don't explain
Don't give explanations
Quiet, don't explain
Quiet, don't offer justifications
You mixed with some dame
You're involved with another woman
Skip that lipstick
Ignore the evidence of a romantic encounter (lipstick)
Don't explain
Don't provide excuses or explanations
You know that I love you and what love endures
You're aware that I love you and can withstand challenges
All my thoughts are of you
All my thoughts are focused on you
For I'm so completely yours
I belong entirely to you
Cry to hear folks chatter, and I know you cheat
I cry when people gossip, and I know you're unfaithful
But right and wrong don't matter when you're with me sleep
Morality doesn't matter when we are together in intimacy
Hush now, don't explain
Be silent, don't give justifications
You're my joy and pain
You bring both joy and pain to my life
My life's yours love
My life belongs to you, my love
Don't explain
Don't offer explanations
