Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Love, has got, me down
A tear, just hit, the ground
So I started writing you this song
But the words I wrote came out all wrong
Yeah, but it's all right
[Verse 2]
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
When you can't, define, the crime
Then life, ain't worth, a dime
When they take away everything you got
And they rub your nose in the funky spot
Not without a fight
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
[Verse 3]
When you work your fingers, to the bone
And now what does that get you? Nothing
If in a crowd of people, you're still alone
I hope that tells you, something
The road to Heaven, is paved in Hell
And it makes you wonder
Why we're here at all
Check out the shape of your circumstance
He wears the dress and she wears the pants
Here comes Jill and she needs romance
But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!
[Verse 4]
Sex, is like, a gun
You aim, you shoot, you run
When you're splittin' hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like gettin' head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun
[Verse 5]
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Oh, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
Talk is cheap, shut up and dance
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't get deep, shut up and dance
