Hush
CoCo Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hush now keep our love quiet.
It must stay on the low.
And I know it ain't easy, but nobody else has to know.
[Verse 1]
You and me got a chemistry between us.
And I truly feel, that you are the one I dream of.
Try to understand the situation I'm in.
Baby, I got plans and now it's not the timing.
One day I'll tell the whole world - I'm your girl.
I'm your girl.
Oh...
[Chorus]
Hush now.
Keep our love quiet - quiet (Don't say a word)
It must stay on the low.
And I know it ain't easy, but nobody else has to know.
Hush now.
Keep our love quiet - quiet (Don't say a word)
It must stay on the low.
And I know it ain't easy, but nobody else has to know.
(It ain't easy for you baby.)
[Verse 2]
Laying next to you with your arms around my body
Never felt so good
But I can't tell nobody.
I'm waiting so patiently, wait for me, baby.
The very thought of you alone can drive me crazy.
And I picture you the father of my baby
I'm praying desperately and I do believe.
[Chorus]
Hush now.
Keep our love quiet - quiet (Don't say a word)
It must stay on the low.
And I know it ain't easy, but nobody else has to know.
Hush now.
Keep our love quiet - quiet (Don't say a word)
It must stay on the low.
And I know it ain't easy, but nobody else has to know.
(It ain't easy for you baby.)
[Bridge (X2)]
Cause we are destined to be in love.
When the time comes we'll tell everyone.
But till then don't say nothing.
Wanna wait till we got something solid.
[Chorus.....]
