I'm in the dark, I'd 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
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say

Hush, hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry

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 now
Voices carry

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

Hush, hush
Keep it down now
Voices carry

Hush, hush, darling, she might overhear
Oh, no-voices carry
He said shut up he said shut up
Oh God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
I wish he would let me talk
