Hush Child Lyrics by Sometymes Why

Sometimes Why

2005

[Intro-Andreassen]
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush little baby
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush little child
[Verse 2]
I was the secret
That she had to name
I crawled out from under the bleachers
At the homecoming game (hush child)
I was a hush, hush, hush little baby
I was a hush, hush... hush, hush little child
[Verse 4]
Well I tried
To kick the wall in
That's when I learned that my mama
She had thick skin (hush child)
[Verse 5]
Well I knew
My mama she had thick skin
Yet through the wall I heard them talkin'
I heard them gossipin' (hush, child)
I was a hush... hush, hush, hush little baby
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush little child
[Verse 6]
Heard everybody say "She used to be so thin,"
Felt my mama try not to breathe in (hush child)
So with my own two fists I pushed through my mother's hips
I was in time to see my aunt beside the the doctor with her finger on her lips (hush child)
She said "Hush little baby, don't you moan
Someone might hear you."
I was a hush, hush... hush, hush, hush little child
[Verse 7]
I'm not like you, your mama
I was led to understand
From the thousand
She chose the perfect man
You were no hush hush child
I'm not like you, your mama
I was led to understand
She wrote your first and middle names
In her five-year plan
No, you were no hush hush child
I was a hush, hush... hush little baby
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush little child
[Verse 8]
I was the secret
That she had to name (hush child)
Called me the truth
'Bout what happened to her youth (hush child)
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush little baby
I was a hush, hush, hush, hush little child
[Outro]
My mom said "Hush, little baby don't you weep
Mama's gonna buy you something cheap but dressy
You'll look just fine."
We were all
Hush hush babies
In our time
