Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm craaazzzy
For tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy
Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That's why I flew you out
When we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You start yellin when I'm with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bull shit)
You know I have to make them dividends (bull shit)
How could you trust our private lives girl
That's why you don't believe my lies
And quit this lecture
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm craaazzzy
For tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy
Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Changing up your livin
For a lovin transistion
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin
â??Who the hell?!?â??
Who the hell?
What the hell's going down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm craaazzzy
For tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy
Girl our love is dyin
Why did you stop tryin
I never been a quitah
But I do deserve betta
Believe me I will do bad
Let's forget the past
And let's start this new plan
Why? 'cause it's the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl I know you're tired of the things they say
You're damn right
'cause I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No it ain't
That was a different thing
No it ain't
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing
Same ass excuses
Boy you're usless
Whhoooaaaa
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm craaazzzy
For tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy
Stop the talking baby
Or I start walking baby (x12)
Is that all there is (x12)
The lyrics to Black Eyed Peas' song "Shut Up" are about a tumultuous romantic relationship that is on the brink of ending due to constant arguing and a lack of trust. The chorus "Shut up, just shut up, shut up, shut it up, just shut up" is a plea for the couple to stop fighting and for the singer's partner to stop lecturing them. Despite their attempts to take things slow and work things out, the relationship continues to unravel and the singer begins to feel crazy for trying to make things work. The second half of the song features a conversation between the two partners, with the singer pleading for the relationship to improve and the partner responding with excuses and accusations.
The song is a reflection of the communication breakdowns and turmoil that can arise in relationships. The repeated phrase "shut up" demonstrates the need for both partners to take a step back and try to listen to each other instead of constantly yelling and arguing. The song also touches on themes of trust and infidelity, with the singer accusing their partner of not believing their lies and of not trusting their private lives.

How could you trust our relationship?
That's why you don't believe my lies
That's why you think I'm not telling the truth
And quit this lecture
Stop lecturing me
Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Why does she feel the need to rush things?
Love is progress if you could make it last
A relationship can progress if it lasts
Why is it that you just lose control
Why do we keep losing control of our relationship?
Every time you agree on takin it slow
When we decide to slow down, something goes wrong
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Why does it have to be so difficult?
Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Because people in lust never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Showing him the love that you give
Changing up your livin
Changing the way you live
For a lovin transistion
For a transition in your love life
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
She talks so much to try and get you to pay attention
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
Being angry at each other has become a usual occurrence
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
We argue constantly
Got neighbors across the street sayin 'Who the hell?!?'
Our neighbors are complaining about the noise
Who the hell?
Why is there so much yelling?
What the hell's going down?
What's happening?
Too much of the bickering
Too much arguing
Kill it with the sound and
End it with music
Girl our love is dyin
Our love is ending
Why did you stop tryin
Why did you stop putting in effort?
I never been a quitah
I've never given up before
But I do deserve betta
But I do deserve better
Believe me I will do bad
I will do wrong things
Let's forget the past
Let's move on from what happened before
And let's start this new plan
And let's begin a new approach
Why? 'cause it's the same old routine
Why? Because we're doing the same thing as before
And then next week I hear them scream
And then next week we'll be arguing again
Girl I know you're tired of the things they say
I know you're tired of what people say about us
You're damn right
You're absolutely right
'cause I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
Because I heard those terrible excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
That was a different issue
No it ain't
No, it's not
It was the same damn thing
It was the exact same issue
Same ass excuses
Same terrible excuses
Boy you're usless
You're useless
Whhoooaaaa
Sound of frustration
Stop the talking baby
Stop talking
Or I start walking baby (x12)
Or I will leave
Is that all there is (x12)
Is this everything?
