Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain't nothin' to gain
I'm glad that your back
Don't' explain
Quiet baby, don't explain
There is nothing to gain.
Skip back the lipstick
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Don't want to hear folks chatter
Cause I know you cheat
Right n' wrong don't matter
When your with me my sweet..
Hush now don't explain
Don't you know your my joy and your my pain.
My life is yours love
Don't explain
Int
All my thoughts of you, for I'm so completely yours.
I don't want to hear nobody chatter
Cause I know you cheat,
Right n' wrong don't matter
When your with me my sweet.
Hush now, don't explain
Your my joy, your my pain
My life is yours love
Don't explain.
The song "Don't Explain" by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa conveys a message of unconditional love and forgiveness. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner may have cheated or made a mistake, but the singer is willing to overlook it because they are so in love. The repeated phrase "Hush now, don't explain" indicates that the singer wants their partner to stop trying to justify their actions or apologize, as they have already forgiven them. The line "Skip back the lipstick, don't explain" is a clear indication of infidelity, but the singer is willing to move past it and focus on the love they share.
The song is a beautiful portrayal of the complexities of love and relationships. The idea that someone can hurt you deeply, but you can still love them and forgive them, is a powerful one. The lyrics also hint at the idea that love can be painful, and that sometimes we must endure pain to experience the joy that comes with being with the person we love.

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
I'm missed with some dame
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
Nothing rates above you
And I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right and wrong don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And when love endures
All my thoughts are of you
When I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right and 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, don't explain

This woman has so much raw emotion and honesty it's almost painful. She was born for this genre. Joe is the perfect compliment.

This is about as close to covering a classic jazz song respectfully I have ever heard. Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa have really recaptured the essence of this song. What a truly wonderful effort.
@mic982
Beth is setting the standard for strong female vocals in the Blues genre. Joe is Joe, always good, but Beth is special.
