Shut Up
Dirtie Blonde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've heard those words before
And I won't play these games
You say that your reason
Is life has got to offer more
And every day's the same
And I do feel offended
Why don't you just say
Or...
[Chorus:]
Shut up, you don't love me, baby
'Cause if you did, if you did
I would know
Shut up, you don't love me, baby
'Cause if you did, if you did
Then it would show
Shut up, you don't love me, baby
'Cause if you did, if you did
You wouldn't go
The days go by slowly
Each more painful than the last
I try to understand
I got my defenses
Up so high it's sad, but I
Have always had a man
And I guess that it's over
So...
[Chorus:]
I saved you, boy
You know I did
I took your crooked life
And I straightened it for you
I held you up so very high
And you can't take back what you said
It's real this time
[Chorus: Repeat 3X]
In the song "Shut Up," Dirtie Blonde addresses the frustration of being in a relationship where one person is not honest about their feelings or intentions. The song is about a woman who is tired of her partner's indecisiveness, and she wants him to be clear about whether or not he loves her. She is offended by his lack of communication and tired of playing games. She feels that if he truly loved her, he would not be leaving her, and she tells him to shut up if he does not love her. The woman also references the fact that she has helped her partner in the past, but he still cannot be honest with her.
The chorus of the song is the most significant part, with the woman repeatedly telling her partner to shut up if he does not love her because his actions and words do not align. The verses build on this, with the woman expressing her frustration and desire for honesty. The emotion in her voice and the lyrics make it clear that she is hurt and angry at her partner's lack of clarity.
Line by Line Meaning
You say that you're leaving
You're trying to leave, but I've heard it from you many times before
But I've heard those words before
You’ve said the same thing over and over again
And I won't play these games
I’m not interested in getting caught up in your games
You say that your reason
The reason you give is...
Is life has got to offer more
...life has more to offer
And every day's the same
And every day seems repetitive
And I do feel offended
I am offended by what you’re doing
Why don't you just say
Why not just be honest and say
What you really mean
What you’re really thinking and feeling
Or...
Or don't say anything at all
[Chorus:] Shut up, you don't love me, baby
Be quiet, you don't love me like you say you do
'Cause if you did, if you did / I would know
If you really loved me, I would be aware of it
Shut up, you don't love me, baby
Stop talking, you don't really love me
'Cause if you did, if you did / Then it would show
If you loved me for real, it would be evident
Shut up, you don't love me, baby
Don't speak, you don't truly love me
'Cause if you did, if you did / You wouldn't go
If you loved me, you wouldn't be leaving me
The days go by slowly
The days pass by unhurriedly
Each more painful than the last
Each one more excruciating than the previous one
I try to understand
I attempt to comprehend
I got my defenses
I've protected myself
Up so high it's sad, but I
I’ve put my guard up to an absurd extent
Have always had a man
I've always been in a relationship
And I guess that it's over
I suppose it's the end
So...
Therefore, there's nothing more to say
[Chorus:] Shut up, you don't love me, baby
Be quiet, you don't love me like you say you do
'Cause if you did, if you did / I would know
If you really loved me, I would be aware of it
I saved you, boy
I rescued you, young man
You know I did
You're aware of it
I took your crooked life
I straightened out your messed-up life
And I straightened it for you
I corrected it on your behalf
I held you up so very high
I held you to a very high standard
And you can't take back what you said
You can't retract your statements
It's real this time
This is genuinely happening
[Chorus: Repeat 3X]
Be quiet, you don't love me like you say you do / If you really loved me, I would be aware of it / Don't speak, you don't really love me / If you loved me for real, it would be evident / Don't speak, you don't truly love me / If you loved me, you wouldn't be leaving me
