Don't Talk
Estelle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yep, yep, this one (this one)
Is for the men that talk to much, listen.

Keeping it real, I'm feeling it, women
Just keep your eye on the price cause I'm keeping it women.
Keeping it physical, you don't get my deep individual.
For the girl wh-what you ain't seeing the typical.
See its Mr.Cool but don't miss the ---

I'm sure that you would like it better when your lips are closed.
Stay focused, be sure you're not missing the show.
But don't get into it slip we're not hitting the hotel.
So don't tell me whats on your mind, I ain't interested unless it is a long deline.
I'm feeling the smell, of my gucci rush, so you loosing up,
The best that you can do is HUSH.

Chorus:
Don't talk, keep your eyes on me, don't talk.
Hush up baby, don't talk.
If you like what I'm doing, don't talk.
Whatever you doing, don't talk.
Keep your eyes on me, don't talk.
Hush up baby, don't talk.
If you like what I'm doing, don't talk.
Whatever you doing, don't.

So when you see me man I know what's up.
We ain't really in a chat and we're about to go.
We tell em, come here let's go, get out.
I don't wanna here a word coming out your mouth.
Only thing I wanna see is your boxer briefs.
And your chest looking like, like the wildest piece.
Come and look into my eyes, hypnotized like Medusa.
Pulling out my Jacks 'a' my name is Produsa-a.
From my feet to my --- to my chest.
Only thing I wanna feel, is your sexy breath aha.
After that then its nice to meet ya.
Back to backsa, I need a slice of pizza yo.

Chorus:
Don't talk, keep your eyes on me, don't talk.
Hush up baby, don't talk.
If you like what I'm doing, don't talk.
Whatever you doing, don't talk.
Keep your eyes on me, don't talk.
Hush up baby, don't talk.
If you like what I'm doing, don't talk.

Keep it moving, its what you're doing.

Pray you don't say a word.
Keep it moving, its what you're doing.
You know I like it, oh.

Give me a nine, give me a nine.
Give me a zipper for free.
Cause you know its all about me.
Yo, tell them to feel the music.
Don't have to talk to do this.

Chorus:
Don't talk, keep your eyes on me, don't talk.
Hush up baby, don't talk.
