People talkin' 'bout
Where you been and what you been doin'
It really, really, really doesn't bother me at all
'Cause I been kinda busy myself
I'm so glad to see you, boy, yeah

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
'Cause I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, mm, don't explain
What is there to gain?
Why don't you skip that lipstick
Don't explain
Ooh

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
You know I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
But right or wrong, don't matter
When I'm with you, sweet

Hush, baby, don't explain
I know you're mixed with some dame, but listen
I'm glad you are back
I don't want you to explain
I don't need you to explain
Ooh
Skip the, skip the lipstick
Baby, don't explain

You know that I love you
And everything that love endures
For every one of my thoughts are of you
'Cause I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know, I know you cheat
But, darling, right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush, baby, baby boy, don't explain, ooh
You know that you're my joy and pain
My life's yours
Don't explain
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, don't do it, don't do it
Don't explain
