- Don't Explain Lyrics / with translationsHush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine don't explain
My love, my love, my love don't explain
There is nothing with me not to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know, I hear folks cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong right now doesn't matter
You're here with me, sit down, have a seat
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to reel, don't explain
Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing with me now to gain
I'm gonna skip [Incomprehensible]
Don't explain, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine don't explain
My love, my love, my love don't explain
There is nothing with me not to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know, I hear folks cha-cha-chatter
Right or wrong right now doesn't matter
You're here with me, sit down, have a seat
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to reel, don't explain
Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing with me now to gain
I'm gonna skip [Incomprehensible]
Don't explain, don't explain
