He's lookin' in the mirror checkin' out his hair
   Puffin' on his cologne
   He ain't shaved since Tuesday but tonight
   Every little whisker's gone
   He's goin' out with the perfect wife
   But she ain't his own
  
   Hush - can't talk about it
   Hush - dance all around it
   Everybody's doin' it, old and young
   Don't breathe a word, cat's got your tongue
   Hush
  
   Mama makes breakfast, packs the kids' lunch
   And sends them on their way
   She cleans up the kitchen, makes all the beds
   Then loads up her TV tray
   Ah, but that ain't coffee in her coffee cup
   That gets her through the day
  
   Hush - can't talk about it
   Hush - dance all around it
   Everybody's doin' it, old and young
   Don't breathe a word, cat's got your tongue
   Hush
  
   Pretending it ain't happening won't make it disappear
   You can sweep it under the carpet, look the other way
   But it's still here
  
   You can hear 'em screamin', yellin' through the walls
   Just another normal night
   You hear glass breakin' and baby's cryin'
   But you say it's gonna be alright
   You just turn up the volume on your radio
   And turn down the light
  
   Hush - can't talk about it
   Hush - dance all around it
   Everybody's doin' it, old and young
   Don't breathe a word, cat's got your tongue
   Hush
  
   Hush - can't talk about it
   Hush - dance all around it
   Everybody's doin' it, old and young
   Don't breathe a word, cat's got your tongue
   Hush
  
   Hush - can't talk about it
   Hush - dance all around it
   Everybody's doin' it, old and young
   Don't breathe a word, cat's got your tongue
   Hush
