Na na na na na na
I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Na na na na na na
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love) they got it early in the morning
(Love, love) they got it late in the evening
(Love, love) well, I want that, need it
(Love, love) oh, I gotta gotta have it
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Listen hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love) they got it early in the morning
(Love, love) they got it late in the evening
(Love, love) well, I want that, need it
(Love, love) oh, I gotta gotta have it
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
The lyrics of Deep Purple's song Hush are about a certain girl that the singer can't resist. He's deeply infatuated with her, but at the same time, he feels like he's also addicted to love itself. He wants her love and physically craves it, but he's aware that it's taking a toll on him. The girl has the power to make him feel bad or break his heart, yet he can't help but love her anyway. The refrain of "Hush, hush" is repeated throughout the song and represents the singer's desire to quiet his own emotional turmoil.
In the verses, the lyrics describe the girl's effect on the singer. She's "the best girl that I ever had," and he can't get her out of his head. Her love is like "quicksand," and the singer is in so deep that he can't eat or sleep. Despite her ability to hurt him, he needs her love and can't help but crave it.
Interestingly, the song was originally recorded by Joe South in 1967 before Deep Purple covered it in 1968 for their debut album Shades of Deep Purple. It was the band's first hit single, reaching #4 on the US charts, and helped establish their hard rock sound.

That I can't eat and I can't sleep
I'm so wrapped up in her love that I can't focus on anything else
Listen hush, hush
Listen closely, be quiet
