Canzoni d’amore da (non) ascoltare

18 | Nina Simone, Don’t explain (1964)

          Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr., 1941

Hush now, don’t explain
Just say you’ll remain

I’m glad that you’re back
don’t explain
Quiet baby, don’t explain
There is nothin’ to gain
Skip that 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 wanna hear folks chatter
’Cause 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 pain
My life is yours love
Don’t explain
