Mary Chapin Carpenter Shut Up And Kiss Me Lyrics

Don't mean to get a little forward with you
Don't mean to get ahead of where we are
Don't mean to act a little nervous around you
Just a little nervous about my heart

'Cause it's been awhile since I felt this feeling
That everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me

Didn't expect to be in this position
Didn't expect to have to rise above
My reputation for cynicism
Been a jaded lady when it comes to love

But oh baby, just to feel this feeling
That everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me

There's something 'bout the silent type
Attracting me to you All business, baby, none of the hype
That no talker can live up to

Come closer baby, I can't hear you
Just another whisper if you please
Don't worry 'bout the details darlin'
You've got the kind of mind I love to read

Talk is cheap and baby, time's expensive
So why waste another minute more
And life's too short to be so apprehensive
Love's as much the symptom darlin' as the cure

Oh baby when I feel this feeling
It's like genuine voodoo hits me
It's been too long since somebody whispered

Oh baby I can feel this feeling
That everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up and kiss me
