Sometymes Why - Hush Child lyrics

I was a hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush
Hush little baby i was a hush,  hush
 hush, hush, hush,  hush, hush little child

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

Well I tried to kick the wall in
That's when I learned that my mama
She had thick skin (hush child)

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

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

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

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

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
