Shut Up
Black Eyed Peas Lyrics

Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Stop talking and just be quiet.

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Stop talking and keep quiet.

We try to take it slow
We attempt to progress our relationship gradually.

But we're still losing control
But we're still struggling to maintain self-control.

And we try to make it work
And we're attempting to make the relationship successful.

But it still ends up the worst
But it still ends up failing.

And I'm crazy
And I'm acting illogically.

For tryna be your lady
For trying to be your girlfriend.

Girl, me and you were just fine, you know
My girl, we were doing well, you understand.

We wine and dine
We enjoyed romantic experiences with each other.

Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Partook in activities that people in love do.

Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
For example, walking on the beach.

Things that lovers say and do
Romantic exchanges and activities.

I love you boo, I love you too
We exchange love sentiments.

I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
We're missing each other even more.

That's why I flew you out when we was on tour
That's why I brought you on tour with me.

But then something got outta hand
But then something went too far.

You start yellin' when I'm with my friends
You begin shouting at me when I'm with my friends.

Even though I had legitimate reasons (bullshit)
Even though I had logical explanations (you don't believe me).

You know I have to make them dividends (bullshit)
You know I have to make money (but you don't link it to my job).

How could you trust your private eyes, girl?
Why do you have faith in your investigators, girl?

That's why you don't believe my lies, and quick to say
That's why you don't trust me and are quick to accuse me.

Why does emotion gotta move so fast?
Why do feelings have to move so quickly?

Love is progress if you could make it last
Love is progress if you can make it endure.

Why is it that you just lose control?
Why do you keep losing your composure?

Every time you agree on takin' it slow
Every time you agree to take things slowly.

So why is it got to be so damn tough?
So why does it have to be so difficult?

'Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Because foolish people in lust are never satisfied with love.

Showin' him the love that you be givin'
Showing him the love that you give.

Changing up your livin' for a lovin' transition
Altering your lifestyle for a transition to love.

Girl, it’s a mission trying to get you to listen
Girl, it's a challenging task to get you to hear me out.

We mad at each other has become our tradition
Being angry with each other has become our custom.

You yell, I yell, everybody yells
You shout, I shout, everyone screams.

Got neighbors across the street sayin
Neighbors across the street are commenting.

"Who the hell?"
"Who are those people?"

Too much of the bickering
Too much of the petty arguing.

Kill it with the sound and
Stop it with the noise and.

Girl, our love is dying
My girl, our love is deteriorating.

Why did you stop tryin'
Why did you stop making an effort?

I never been a quiter
I have never given up before.

But I do deserve better
But I do deserve something better.

Believe me I will do bad
Believe me, I will misbehave.

Let's forget the past and start this new plan
Let's move on from the past and initiate a new strategy.

Why 'cause it’s the same old routine
Why? Because it's the same old routine.

And then next week I hear them scream
And then the following week, I hear them screaming.

Girl, I know you're tired of the things they say
My girl, I know you're annoyed by what they say.

You're damn right
You're absolutely right.

'Cause I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
Because I heard those weak excuses just yesterday.

That was a different thing
That was a separate issue.

No, it ain't
No, it wasn't.

It was the same damn thing
It was the same exact thing.

Same ass excuses
Same exact excuses.

Boy you're useless
Boy, you are worthless.

Stop the talking, baby
Stop talking, sweetheart.

Or I start walking, baby
Or I will leave, my love.

Is that all there is?
Is that all there is to this relationship?

Look what happened, baby
Look what's happening, my love.

Stop your yapping, baby (is that all there is?)
Stop your chatter, my love. (Is that really all there is?)
