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

Hush hush Maria, 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

Hush hush Maria, hush Maria
They say it's best they say
Hush hush Maria hush Maria
It had to end this way

Hush hush Maria, hush Maria
Hush hush Maria, hush Maria

Who's gonna tell Maria and tell her son?
Tell them they 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

Hush hush Maria, hush Maria
They say it's best they say
Hush hush Maria hush Maria
It had to end this way

Hush hush Maria, hush Maria
They say it's best they say
Hush hush Maria hush Maria
It had to end this way
