[Verse 1]
I'm in the dark, I'd like to read her mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something she's thinking of
To tear him away-a-ay
When I tell her that I'm falling in love
Why does he say-a-ay

[Chorus]
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Uh-ah

[Verse 2]
I try so hard not to get upset
'Cause I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, she tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear-eh-eh
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear

[Chorus]
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Uh-ah
[Bridge]
Oh
She wants me
But only part of the time
She wants me
And she can keep me in line

[Chorus]
Hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Hush hush
(Darling, she might overhear)
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Oh, hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Oh, hush hush
(She said shut up, she said shut up)
Keep it down now
Voices carry
(Oh God can't you keep it down)
Oh, hush hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Oh, hush hush
(I wish he would let me talk)
Keep it down now
Voices carry
Oh no
