Voices Carry

In the dark I'd like to read his mind
But I'm frightened by 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

And 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

He wants me, for only part of the time
He wants me, if he can keep it in line

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
They carry, they carry
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Voices carry

Hush hush, keep it down now,
Voices carry...
