Shut Up

[Verse 1]
Heard about you for awhile
Never saw a show
Used to play you on college radio
Now we're face to face
Friend of a friend
Got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't happen
You got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't be
And not a single one of them has a thing to do with me

[Chorus]
So just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it

[Verse 2]
"I'm a man, I'm a man with a plan"
"That's me in the broken window"
He said, "don't you understand?"
Weren't even sure it was me when I walked in the room
Careful son, it's gonna get real hot soon
And I been, I’ve been trying to fight this fight right here by swimming upstream
I couldn't tell you where I'm going
Couldn't show you where I been

[Chorus]
So just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it
Shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it

[Bridge]
So what if we just stop pretending
Stop making believe?
What if true love only comes when you're playing for keeps?

[Chorus]
So just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it
Just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it

[Verse 3]
Do you know the value of this?
Can you assess it?
And if you could, would you even know how to invest it?
I know a thing about a thing or two
I know I gotta keep a couple things safe from you
If I folded my heart into a pretty paper plane
And flew it cross the Hudson, would it come back again?
Would it get crumpled up?
Would it get caught up?
In a crosswind in the sea, or would it fly back to me?

[Chorus]
So just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it
Just shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Kiss me like you mean it

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, ooh
Shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up
