Who's gonna tell maria he won't be home
Who's gonna tell maria she's now alone
Tell her the life he wanted took him away
Tell her there's no use living for yesterday


[chorus]
Hush hush maria
Hush hush maria
They say it's best they say
Hush hush maria
Hush maria
It had to end this way


Who's gonna tell maria he won't return
Who's gonna tell maria that love can burn
Tell her that love so simple could never be
Tell her that she was looking but could not see

[chorus]
Hush hush maria

Hush hush maria

They say it's best they say

Hush hush maria

Hush maria

It had to end this way


Hush hush maria
Hush hush maria
Hush hush maria
Hush hush maria



Who's gonna tell maria
And tell her son
Tell them lost a man
They never won
Who's gonna tell maria
He won't be home
He was the kind of man
No-one could own

[chorus]
Hush hush maria
Hush hush maria
They say it's best they say
Hush hush maria
Hush maria
It had to end this way
