The Full Lyrics

SHUT UP! 

Sung by Kelly Osbourne

You say, I should do it differently.

I don't necessarily agree.

Stand up! Sit down! Be nice!

Did ya hear me ask for your advice?

Don't bother trying to tell me your beliefs.

Don't want to know which way it's good to be.

Do this! Do that! On track!

Do me a favour and don't talk back!

<>()<>

Round and round,

But the conversation always ends where it began.

Round and round,

And I need a vacation.

My god, I've had it from you! Shut up!

Don't want to hear your voice. Shut up!

I'm sick of all the noise.

There's nothing you can say to me,

So get away from me. Shut up!

<>()<>

Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah.

That's what it sounds like you said to me.

You nag and you brag and I gag,

There's so much beauty in what we have.

You must have better things that you can do.

Or just love all around me too.

What you want, what I need.

Oh please! I think you get off,

On hearing yourself speak.

<>()<>

(The following is sung twice)

Round and round,

But the conversation always ends where it began.

Round and round,

And I need a vacation.

My god, I've had it from you! Shut up!

Don't want to hear your voice. Shut up!

I'm sick of all the noise.

There's nothing you can say to me,

So get away from me. Shut up!

<>()<>

Don't want to be polite.

It's messed up how you always think you're right.

There's nothing you can say,

That's gonna change the way I am.

Shut up!

Hi I am a huge fan of the Osborne family!  Sharon is the top cookie, and if it wasen't  for Ozzy and Sharon, No on would be where they are to day.   I Have always had much respect for the Osborne children.  Until  Kelly decided to talk s*** on Christina.  Kelly please don't lower your self into reticual.  I'm sure I don't know the whole storey.  But I think Christina is the  most true singer. She is a wounderful singer that speakes what she thinks.  And I love her for it.  She sings with her feelings.  THAT is what people want to hear, energy, feelings, word that people are to scard to say!  Not to mention her amazing voice!!   Kel u rock,  Christine  Girl you have been singing from the soul for so long. Please keep it going!    U sing songs that people can relate to.  To me and all my friends those are the best!!!!!!   U Rock !  Rock on Christina    A!!!!!.  You are the women of th future!  Who gives a s*** about what people say!  I don't ,    Your Biggest FAN Ashley!  U-ROCK- IT- REAL And with feelings.   ( the most important part)    Love You Girl, Stay Strong,  Ashley
