Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got some nerve, now baby don't you
I never care bout half the shit that comes out of your mouth, no
I wish that I could put a swift choke-hold on you
This world ain't big enough for you and your ego

So for once why don't you just
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Keep running, running, running and running your mouth
Could you please
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up

You think you're something special don't you
You like the sound of your voice, keep talking while I tune out (oh)
And if you ever really wonder what I think about you
I've got a million ways to show you just where you can go
Kiss my ass (oh)

So for once why don't you just
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Keep running, running, running and running your mouth
Could you please
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up

Call me a bitch whenever you wish
Don't give a shit, can you handle it
Cause I flip the script, don't seal my lips
And if you don't like it
You can suck my (ugh)
You can suck my (ugh)
You can suck my (ugh)

One, two, three, four
(Hey, oh, yea yeah)

Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Keep running, running, running and running your mouth
Could you please




Shut up, just shut the fuck up
Shut up, just shut the fuck up
