Honey Hush
P.J. Proby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us

You start talkin' in the morning, you're talkin' all day long
I'm tryin' to figure out what I did wrong
Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us

I stay out all day long, you know I hate to come home
Everything I do, seems to be wrong
Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us

I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't rest in peace
I'll be better off, you know, walkin' the streets
Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us

I come for lunch or dinner, it happens all the time
That little gal just drives me out of my mind




Oh honey hush, yes you talk too much
Listenin' to your conversation is just about to separate us
