Shut Up and Talk to Me Songtext
von Guy Clark

Now love is never gonna be a solid bet
It′s kinda like workin' without a net
Don′t be afraid to let your feelings out
Hey, that's what lovin' is all about

Come on, baby, and give me a break
It′s how do you feel, not what do you think

Stop rattlin′ your keys
Shut up and talk to me
Shut up and talk to me

You know I've known you long enough to know
There′s nothin' you can hide that still don′t show
You ain't foolin′ anyone but you
When you put me through what you put me through

Come on, honey, and tell me the truth
Give me chicken fried steak, not a baby Ruth

I'm not that hard to please
Shut up and talk to me
Shut up and talk to me now


Well, you can talk about the weather 'till it drives me nuts
Hey, you can rattle on about who, why, what
A little conversation wouldn′t hurt that much
A little somethin′ with a human touch, hey

Now, if you're hurtin′, baby, tell me so
If you need attention honey let me know
I'm not the one that you′re hidin' from
You know, it doesn′t matter what the ever you done

You can have your cake and you can eat it too
Hey, that's the kinda stuff I want from you

How hard can it be
Shut up and talk to me
Hey, shut up and talk to me now

Well, you can talk about the weather 'till it drives me nuts
Hey, you can rattle on about who, why, what
A little conversation wouldn′t hurt that much
A little somethin′ with a human touch, hey

Shut up and talk to me, darlin'
Tell me the truth
(Shut up and talk to me)
