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 
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 
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry 
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry 

Oh, 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, keep it down now, voices carry 
Oh, hush, hush, shut up now, voices carry 
Oh, hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry 
Oh, 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 

Oh, voices carry 
I wish he would let me talk
