Shut up
Robbie Coles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things used to be so easy
Back when you still need me
But now it's all a big mess
I messed up
But now I feel so down
Like a king without his crown
Man, I'm such a loser
'Cause I lost you
To that other dude
And now I feel so blue
I don't know what to do!
I'm so much better looking than your new boyfriend
I think I'm taller
I bet he's smaller than me
I really really really hate your new boyfriend
You think it's love
I'd wish you shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
You think it's lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo love
'Cause every day I see
You're better off without me
All your stupid instagram selfies
And I hope it doesn't last
And I hope he gets there fast
I guess I will be having a lost love
I'm so much better looking than your new boyfriend
I think I'm taller
I bet he's smaller than me
I really really really hate your new boyfriend
You think it's love
I'd wish you shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
You think it's lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo love
They say there's plenty more fish in the sea
Well maybe I will go fishing in the sea
'Cause right now I'm hooked finding so hard to breathe
I'm so much better looking than your new boyfriend
I think I'm taller
I bet he's... smaller
I really really really hate your new boyfriend
You think it's love
I'd wish you shut up
I'm so much better looking than your new boyfriend
I think I'm taller
I bet he's smaller than me
I really really wish I was still your boyfriend




You think it's love
I'd wish you shut up!

Overall Meaning

In Robbie Coles's song "Shut Up," the singer is lamenting after losing his girlfriend to another man. This loss has him feeling like a loser, and he can't help but obsess over his ex's new boyfriend. He believes himself to be better looking and taller than the new guy and hates the thought of his ex thinking she's in love with him. Throughout the song, he tells his ex to "shut up" with her declarations of love, as he can't handle it anymore. The song is a testament to the pain of a breakup and the lingering feelings that can come with it.
