Heard about you for awhile, never saw a show,
Used to play you on college radio.
Now we're face to face,
Friend of a friend,
Got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't happen.
You got a hundred reasons why this shouldn't be
And not a single one of them has a thing to do with me,
So just shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
"I'm a man. I'm a man with a plan."
"That's me in the broken window," he said, "don't you understand?"
Weren't even sure it was me when I walked in the room,
Careful son it's gonna get real hot soon and I been,
I've been trying to fight this fight right here by swimming upstream;
I couldn't tell you where I'm going,
Couldn't show you where I been,
So just shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Ooh ooh
Ooh ohh
So what if we just stop pretending, stop making believe?
What if true love only comes when you're playing for keeps?
So just shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Just shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Do you know the value of this? Can you assess it?
And if you could would you even know how to invest it?
I know a thing about a thing or two;
I know I gotta keep a couple things safe from you.
If I folded my heart into a pretty paper plane and flew it cross the Hudson
Would it come back again?
Would it get crumpled up?
Would it get caught up in a crosswind in the sea or would it fly back to me?
Shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Just shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up-
Kiss me like you mean it.
Ooh ooh
Kiss me like you mean it.
Ooh ooh
Shut up,
Shut up shut up shut up.
