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 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
Ooh, 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
Ooh, shut up and kiss me

There's something about 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, darling
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

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 genuine voodoo hits me
It's been too long since
Somebody whispered, ooh hoo

Oh, baby
I can feel this feeling
That everything
That you do gives me

It's been too long
Since somebody whispered
Ooh, shut up and kiss me
Ooh hoo, ooh, shut up and kiss me
