Voices Carry

In the dark I 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

When I tell her that I'm falling in love, why does she say

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry

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

I try so hard not to get upset

Because all the trouble I'll get

Oh she 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, ohh

She wants me

But only part of the time

She wants me

If she can keep me in line

Keep it down now, voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry

Ohhhh hush, she says, shut up, she says, shut up

Oh why can't you just keep it down

Voices carry

Hush hush, she might overhear

Hush hush, voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
