[Intro: Fergie]

Whoa, ah

Shut up, just shut up, shut up

Whoa, ah, oh, ah


[Chorus: Fergie]

We're tryin' to take it slow

But we're still losin' control

And we're tryin' to make it work

But it still ends up the worst

And I'm crazy (Crazy)

For tryna be your lady (It turns me on and out)

[Verse 1: will.i.am, Fergie, & Both]

Girl, me and you was just fine (You know)

We wined and dined

Did them things that couples do when in love (You know)

Walks on the beach and stuff (You know)

Things that lovers say and do

"I love you, boo," "I love you too"

"I miss you a lot," "I miss you even more"

That's why I flew you out when we was on tour

But then some things just get out of hand

When you start screamin' for no reason

Just because I'm up in the club with my friends

Have a little trust and believe in your man

'Cause just because I look at a girl don't mean nothin'

And just 'cause we talk don't mean that we fuckin'

Word, so just shut up, shut up

Shut up, just shut up, shut up


[Chorus: Fergie]

We're tryin' to take it slow

But we're still losin' control

And we're tryin' to make it work

But it still ends up the worst

And I'm crazy (Crazy)

For tryna be your lady (It turns me on and out)

[Verse 2: Taboo & Fergie]

Why? Why? Why?

Why does emotion gotta move so fast?

Love is progress if you can make it last

Why is it that you just lose control

Every time you agree on takin' it slow?

Why does it have to be so damn tough?

'Cause fools in lust could never get enough

Of love, showin' the love that you be givin'

Changin' up your livin' for a lovin' transition

Girl, it's a mission tryin' to get you to listen

Screamin' at each other has become our tradition

You yell, I yell, everybody yells (Shut up, just shut up, shut up)

Got neighbors across the street sayin', "Who the hell?"

Who the hell? What the hell's goin' down?

Too much of the bickering, kill it with the sound and


[Refrain: Fergie]

Shut up, just shut up, shut up

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up


[Chorus: Fergie]

We're tryin' to take it slow

But we're still losin' control

And we're tryin' to make it work

But it still ends up the worst

And I'm crazy (Crazy)

For tryna be your lady (It turns me on and out)

[Refrain: Fergie & will.i.am]

Shut up, just shut up, shut up (Don't even talk to me)

Shut up, just shut up, shut up (Don't even speak to me)


[Post-Refrain: will.i.am]

'Cause if you keep talking, I'ma start walking and you don't wanna see me leave

Well, if you start leaving, I'ma stop believing you in love with me

[Bridge: will.i.am & Fergie]

Girl, our love is dyin'

Why did you stop tryin'?

I never been a quitter

But I do deserve better

Believe me, I'm a new man

Let's forget the past and start these new plans

Why? 'Cause it's the same old routine

And then next week, I hear them screams

Girl, I know you're tired of the things I say

You're damn right, 'cause I heard them lame damn excuses just yesterday

That was a different thing

No, it ain't

That was a different thing

No, it ain't

That was a different thing

It was the same damn thing

Same-ass excuses

Boy, you're useless, woah


[Refrain: Fergie]

(Whoa, ah) Shut up, just shut up, shut up

(Whoa, ah, oh, ah) Shut it up, just shut up, shut up

[Verse 3: apl.de.ap & Fergie]

Love is full of emotion and games

A thin line between good, bad, and insane

People goes through this just to obtain

A perfect relationship and maintain

But sometimes things just get out of hand

We all make mistakes, ain't no perfect human

Starts from a little lie on top of the other

Makin' up excuses to tie your loose ends

Then you wonder why things ain't never the same

Then you try to re-erase, but it's just too late to chase

Like chasin' a wonderful scene while I'm dreamin'

But when I wake up, ain't nothin' but screamin'

Yellin', fightin', throwin' things at each other

Situations like this make me just wanna tell you to

Shut up, just shut up, shut up

Shut it up, just shut up, shut up


[Chorus: Fergie]

We're tryin' to take it slow

But we're still losin' control

And we're tryin' to make it work

But it still ends up the worst

And I'm crazy (Crazy)

For tryna be your lady (It turns me on and out)
