Hush Boy
Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a glass of bubbly and my brand new shoes
Found the restaurant on the internet
This Mexican place, but they haven't finished it yet
He took my hand and said,
"I love your eyes, your lips, your hands, your toes"
He seem intoxicated
I put my fingers to his lips and said
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
Just take it slowly boy, there's no need to rush it
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
Come on boy, don't play it tough
So the food was good, I had a chicken fajita
But he finished my plate and had four margaritas
As we gazed into each other's eyes
His ex walked in with her brand new guy
My man he tried to jump on me
To kiss my arms, my legs, my hips, my lips
He knocked the drinks everywhere
As he started to make an apology, I covered his mouth with my hand and said
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
Just take it slowly boy, there's no need to rush it
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
Come on boy, don't blow your chance
(We all need a little romance)
Hush boy
Just for the first date
Hush boy
You shouldn't worry cause I like you we should have some fun
Seamlessly
Those butterfly kisses all over me
Now dancing eyelashes
Sometimes dreams come true
I know talk to much most of the time
Especially when I'm in the bed or under one
You make me just want to push your buttons in too much, girl
When you blush
Hush, girl
You M-O-V-E me
L-O-V-E
That's all that's comin' from me
You're so sexy when I'm treading on dangerous ground.
You bite your lips I just get hard when I see you frown.
I want you to be my one and only
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
Just take it slowly boy, there's no need to rush it
Hush boy (if you want me for your girlfriend)
You know, I don't really want to fuck this up, ?
Come on, give me a little of your time, before you make up your mind
You shouldn't worry cause I like you we should have some fun
The song 'Hush Boy' by Basement Jaxx tells the story of a first date between two people at a Mexican restaurant. The lyrics describe the awkward and humorous moments of the date, including the restaurant not being finished yet and the man being a little too forward about his attraction to the woman. Throughout the date, the woman is encouraging the man to slow down and take things easy, hence the title 'Hush Boy', which she repeats throughout the song.
The woman is careful and cautious with her affections, and even when the man's ex walks into the restaurant, she remains calm and collected, allowing the man to apologize for his behavior without making things worse. The song captivates the listener's attention through the conversational tone and use of relatable experiences. It is clear from the lyrics that the woman is drawn to the man but wants him to take things slow, putting emphasis on the importance of being patient and kind in a romantic situation.

@AndrewDiLiddo
I'm in love with this song! How about a Basament Jaxx concert in Italy!? Oh, yes please! ;)
@arxsyn
for such a grown woman her soprano voice is surprisingly SUPER Girly. like Solange's.
Vula is also a great backing singer. She regularly gigs with Sam Sparro. I have also seen a clip of her with Dionne Bromfield
