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
