Don't Explain by Billie Holiday

Hush now, don’t explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back,
Don't explain.

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick,
Don't explain.

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

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's, yours love,
Don't explain

You know that I love you and what love endures
Nothing rates above you for I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet.

Hush now don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's, yours love,
Don't explain.

A fine Romance - Billie Holiday

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance
