Stifle your screams, honey
The whole city musn't hear
I know you feel the burning pain
But they don't really care
Stifle your screams, honey
It's just between you and me
What goes on in these walls
Is for no one else's eyes to see
Stifle your screams, honey
It's no business of theirs
Those nosy nosy neighbors
Can mind their own affairs
Stifle your screams, honey
It's okay that you are hurt
Those bruises that I've left
They're marks of your worth
Stifle your screams, honey
The whole city musn't hear
You'll be grown and gone soon
So cherish what's now there
