This one reminds me of somebody who was very good at what she called a "full-body kiss." The relationship was good while it lasted, but she was a Republican and a born-again Christian, so it didn't last long. She dumped me with a voice mail message.
But I won't let your being Republican come between us, Bruce...
SHUT UP AND KISS ME
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)
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
I'm just a little nervous about my heart
It's been a while since I felt this feeling
That everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Woooooo, 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
I've 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
Woooooo, 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 too-ooo-ooo [guitar solo]
Come closer baby, I can't hear you
Just another whisper, if you please
Don't worry 'bout the details, darling
You've got the kind of mind I love to read
Talk is cheap and baby, time's expensive
So why wait another minute more
Life's too short to be so apprehensive
Love's as much the symptom, darling, as the cure
Oh, baby, when I feel this feeling
It's like the genuine voodoo hits me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Wooooo, hooooo
Oh baby, I can feel this feeling
That everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me
Wooooo, hooooo
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me
