Shut Up

Heard about you for a while, never saw a show

Used to play on college radio

Now we're face to face, friend of a friend

Got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't happen

You've got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't be me

And not a single one of them has a thing to do with me

So just shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Kiss me like you mean it

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 been tryin' to fight this fight right here

By swimmin' up steam

I couldn't tell you where I'm goin'

Couldn't show you where I been

So just shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Kiss me like you mean it

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Kiss me like you mean it

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

So what if we just stop pretending

Stop making believe

What if true love only comes where you're playing for keeps

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

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 across 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

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

Ooh, ooh

Kiss me like you mean it

Ooh, ooh

Shut up

Shut up, shut up, shut up
