Shut Up and Kiss Me
Shut Up and Kiss Me: A Love Anthem for the Reckless Hearts
Lyrics
You can say you're kind of bored with this
You express boredom with the current situation.
But if you're young, it's new, I guess
If you're young, the experience is still new.
But I don't want you leaving me now
You don't want the person to leave you.
You can say that I don't know romance
You may not be good at romantic gestures.
I can sing but I can't dance
You can sing but not dance.
And I don't want you leaving me now
You don't want the person to leave you.
Oh well you say I'm a mess
The other person thinks you're a mess.
You say everything but a yes
They say everything except "yes."
You say you'll never date me
They claim they'll never date you.
You say your mamma will hate me
They say their mom will disapprove.
Or you can just shut up (shut up)
Encouraging the person to stop talking and kiss.
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
-Shut up and kiss me
-Shut up (shut up)
-(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
-Shut up and kiss me
-Say you won't

And you could tell me no, and you can let me go

-Oh shut up and kiss me
-Sha nah nah nah (the how do we know)
Vocalized sounds, possibly emphasizing a carefree attitude.
Sha nah nah nah (the more you say no)
-Sha nah nah nah (so let's get down low)
-Baby don't say to me
Asking the person not to stay away and expressing unwillingness for them to leave.
You should stay away from me
-'Cause I don't want you leaving me now
-Oh you say I don't listen right
-I only hear just what I like
-I don't want you leaving me now
-Well, you think I'm a mess
The other person sees you as a mess, won't date you, and anticipates disapproval from their mom.
You say everything but a yes
