OooooooOoo
I can no believe this
We just put it down
What are you going to tell him
When he comes back in town
Are you gonna let him know
That I'm giving you the business
I tried my best to let it go
But I could not resist it
It's to temptin', I'm slippin'
Touchin' and feelin'
Me and him be kickin' it, while all the while I've been hittin' it
WhhhOOooo
I know that girl it's gone be hard for me to roll with him
Cause we be hoopin' in shit that's my dog my best friend
Said I would never let a chick come between me and my homie
Got a lil' too much to drink and tonight you put it on me
And I don't know if I regret that we be up in them hotel sweets
Baby this is crazy (baby)

Hush Hush
You don't tell no body
I won't tell no body
Baby we can keep it on the
Hush hush
He is just to close to me
This not suppose to be
But I can't keep you away from me

Sometimes I feel guilty girl sometimes I don't
I try my best to say no but girl you turn me on
I be coming over to your home when I know that I'm not strong
Blowin' up your phone checkin' to see if your home
It's to temptin', I'm slippin'
Touchin' and feelin'
Me and him be kickin' it, while all the while I've been hittin' it
WhhhOOooo
I know that girl it's gone be hard for me to roll with him
Cause we be hoopin' in shit that's my dog my best friend
Said I would never let a chick come between me and my homie
Got a lil' too much to drink and tonight you put it on me
And I don't know if I regret that we be up in them hotel sweets
Baby this is crazy

Hush Hush
You don't tell no body
I won't tell no body
Baby we can keep it on the
Hush hush
He is just to close to me

Sometimes I wish that this had never ever happen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jaheim's song "Hush" tell the story of a man who is struggling to keep a secret affair with his best friend's girlfriend. The song starts with the singer questioning the decision to take things too far with his friend's girl when he was away, and the fear of the repercussions when the friend returns. Despite his guilt, he cannot stop himself from continuing the affair and the temptation is too strong for him to resist. He tries to keep it on the down-low and not let anyone know about their secret fling. He is conflicted by his guilt and his desire for the woman as he knows that it is wrong but he can't help the way he feels.


The chorus, "Hush Hush, You don't tell nobody, I won't tell nobody, Baby we can keep it on the hush hush," is an expression of the singer's fear of exposure and the importance of secrecy to the affair's continuance. The song suggests that the singer is torn between his loyalty to his best friend and the intense feelings he has for the woman. The lyrics are a vivid portrayal of the struggle between loyalty and desire and the thin line between right and wrong.
