[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 her away-ay-ay
When I tell her that I'm falling in love, why does she say-ay-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
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, she tells me tears are something to hide and something to fear-ay-ay
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 it's party time
She wants me, but in the conga line

[Chorus]
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Oh, hush, hush, shut up now, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Oh, hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Oh, hush, hush, darling, she might overhear (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)

[Outro]
Hush, hush, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
(Hush, hush)
She said shut up, she said shut up (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Oh, God, can't you keep it down? (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
Voices carry
Hush, hush, voices carry (Hush, hush, darling, voices carry)
