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 is a bluesy ballad about a woman forgiving her lover for cheating and begging him not to explain himself. The chorus "Hush now, don't explain, There ain't nothin' to gain, I'm glad that your back, Don't' explain" suggests that the woman doesn't want to hear any excuses or reasons for why he cheated because she loves him regardless. She believes that their love endures and that they belong together, despite his infidelity. She even goes so far as to say that right and wrong don't matter when they are together, emphasizing the power of their love to overcome any obstacle.
The lyrics also suggest that the woman is willing to put up with the pain of being cheated on because she can't live without her lover. "Your my joy, your my pain, My life is yours love, Don't explain" communicates that her happiness and heartache are tied to her partner, and she accepts that as part of their relationship. The lines "Skip back the lipstick, Don't explain" might also suggest that the woman is willing to overlook evidence of her partner's infidelity (such as lipstick on his collar) in order to preserve their love.
Overall, "Don't Explain" is a powerful expression of forgiveness, devotion, and the enduring nature of 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 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.
