In the dark, I like to read his mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
To tear him away, ah, ah
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say, ah, ah

Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Uh-uh

I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear

Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Uh-uh

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

He wants me
But only part of the time
He wants me
If he can keep me in line

Hush, hush, keep it down, down, down
Voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Hush, hush, shut up now
Voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down, down
Voices carry
Oh, hush, hush, darling, she might overhear
Hush, hush, voices carry
He said shut up
He said shut up
Oh, God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
Hush, hush voices carry
I wish he would let me talk
