Na na na na na na
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
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Deep Purple's song "Hush" depict a man's love and obsession with a woman who has captured his heart. The refrain of "Na na na na na na" creates a catchy and repetitive melody that emphasizes the urgency and passion in the man's voice. He describes this woman as the best he ever had, but also admits that she makes him feel so bad at times. Despite the heartbreak, the man still loves her and cannot resist the power of her love. The chorus "Hush, hush, I thought I heard her calling my name now" expresses the man's desire for this woman and his longing to be with her again.


The verses also reveal the man's addiction to her love, using the phrase "Love, love" to describe how he needs it early in the morning and late in the evening. The woman's touch is so powerful that it blows his mind and leaves him in deep, where he cannot even eat or sleep. The song creates a sense of urgency and need for this woman, and the repetition in the refrain reflects the man's desperation to be with her.
