Shut Up
black and peas Lyrics

Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Please be quiet and stop talking

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

Shut up, just shut up, shut up (oh no)
Please stop talking immediately, oh no

We try to take it slow
We are trying to proceed with caution in our relationship

But we're still losin' control
Despite our efforts, we are struggling to maintain control of the relationship

And we try to make it work
We are attempting to make our relationship function properly

But it still ends up the worst, and I'm crazy
Despite our best efforts, the relationship still ends badly and it is driving me insane

For tryna be your lady
I am going crazy because I am trying to be the girl of your dreams

I think I'm goin' crazy
I am losing my mind

Girl, me and you were just fine, you know
We used to be happy together

We wine and dine
We went out to fancy places together and enjoyed each other's company

Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
We did all the activities that couples typically do when they are in love (you know what I'm talking about)

Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Long walks on the beach were one of our favorite activities (you know what I mean)

Things that lovers say and do
We were acting like a couple in love

I love you boo, I love you too
We exchanged declarations of love for each other

I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
I miss you so much that the feeling only grows stronger

That's why I flew you out when we was on tour
I missed you so much that I even flew you out to where I was touring

But then something got outta hand
But then, something went wrong

You start yellin' when I'm with my friends
You get angry and yell at me when I'm with my friends

Even though I had legitimate reasons (bullshit)
Despite the fact that I had valid reasons for hanging out with my friends (which you don't believe)

You know I have to make them dividends (bullshit)
I need to spend time with my friends to further my career (even though you don't believe me)

How could you trust your private eyes, girl?
Why do you believe the things your private investigator is telling you?

That's why you don't believe my lies, and quick to say
You don't believe me when I lie, and you're quick to call me out on it

Why does emotion gotta move so fast?
Why do we have to rush our emotions and move too quickly?

Love is progress if you could make it last
Love needs to be given time if it is to progress and endure

Why is it that you just lose control?
Why do you seem to lose control of yourself so easily?

Every time you agree on takin' it slow
Even when we agree to take things slowly, the relationship still goes badly

So why is it got to be so damn tough?
Why does this relationship need to be so difficult to maintain?

'Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Foolish people who are only interested in physical attraction will never be able to truly enjoy love

Showin' him the love that you be givin'
You need to show him the love that you have inside

Changing up your livin' for a lovin' transition
You need to change your lifestyle in order to fully transition into a loving relationship

Girl, it's a mission tryna get you to listen
It's difficult to get you to listen and understand my point of view

We mad at each other has become our tradition
Being angry and fighting with each other has become a regular occurrence in our relationship

You yell, I yell, everybody yells
We both yell and get angry when we argue

Got neighbors across the street sayin'
Our arguments are loud enough for our neighbors to hear

"Who the hell?"
Our neighbors are confused and concerned about our constant arguing

Why did you stop tryin'
Why did you stop putting effort into our relationship?

I never been a quiter
I have never given up on something before

But I do deserve better
However, I do deserve a better relationship than this

Believe me I will do bad
Trust me, I will make bad choices and mistakes

Let's forget the past and start this new plan
Let's forget about the problems we've had in the past and start fresh

Why? 'Cause it's the same old routine
Why? Because we keep following the same pattern of behavior

And then next week I hear them scream
And then we will be fighting again next week

Girl, I know you're tired of the things they say
I know you are tired of what people are saying about us

You're damn right
You are absolutely correct

'Cause I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
Because I heard all of those lame excuses just yesterday

That was a different thing
That situation was different

No, it ain't
Actually, it was the same situation

It was the same damn thing
It was the exact same problem we've been having

Same ass excuses
The excuses were the same as always

Boy you're useless
You are worthless and don't understand how to fix our problems

Whoa, oh
An expression of sadness or frustration

(Don't go now, no please, I don't know)
Don't leave me now, please, I don't know what to do

Stop the talking, baby
Please stop talking, my love

Or I start walking, baby
If you don't stop talking, I will leave

Stop the talking, baby (yeah, yeah)
I really want you to stop talking

Stop the talking, baby (no, oh, oh, oh)
Please, stop talking now

Stop your yapping, baby (is that all there is?)
Stop talking so much, my love (is this all there is to our relationship?)

Look what happened, baby
Look at how our relationship has turned out

Is that all there is?
Is this all our relationship has to offer?
