Hush
Deep Purple (Studio) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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

One of the countless songs that I inexorably link to childhood memories with my Dad, THE greatest father a kid could ask for. He's 83 and when I stream this through his BOOM, he jumps off the couch and starts playing his air guitar.

So Dad, this one goes out to you! From your "little knuckleheads", Theresa, Timmy, Eric, Donovan, Brady, Scotty and Nick.

Awesome Dad bro!! I was nit yet 13 when i bought this album. Glad Rod Evans left Purple and ended up.with Rhino, Lee Dorman, and Bobby Caldwell to form Captain Beyond in 1970 and reakesed their first in January 1972. I used to get to travel with ny Dad to England and Europe from 67 to 73 when he was doing DOD/Nato functions and many times i had a couple days to myself and it was all Rock n Roll for me. I seen both versions of DP(Evans the Gillan) in venues in and around the club circuts. My childhood Rocked!!

@kerryalfaro9437

God bless you and your dad!!!!!!

@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778
