Shut up

You talk too much

Hey, you over there, I know about your kind

You're like the Independent Network News on Channel 9

Everywhere that you go, no matter where you are at

I said, "You talk about this, and you talk about that"

When the cat took your tongue

I say you took it right back

Your mouth is so big

One bite would kill a Big Mac

You talk too much

You never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

You talk about people, you don't even know

And you talk about places, you never go

You talk about your girl, from head to toe

I said, "Your mouth's moving fast and your brain's moving slow"

You talk too much

You never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

You're the instigator, the orator of the town

You're the worst when you converse, just a big mouth clown

You talk when you're awake, I heard you talk when you sleep

Has anyone ever told you, that talk is cheap?

You talk too much

You never shut, up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

Talking is the one thing, that you can do best

You told the cavity creeps, to watch out for Crest

You never have the story, right and exact

And then you always try to bore me, with your yakkity yak

You talk too much

And then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

Everyday you are out fighting someone in the street

And you're always fighting someone you know ya can't beat

Then you wonder how, you got in this mess

Just think of what you said, then take a guess

You talk too much

You never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

You're always spreading rumors, whether bad or good

You're the damn Walter Cronkite of the neighborhood

The Barbara Walters, and the Howard Cosell

You always come around, with a story to tell

You talk too much

And then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

I said it's everybody's business that you love to mind

And talkin' to you, is like dropping a dime

You're spreading the word, like it is your job

You should be a stool pigeon, who works for the mob

You talk too much

Then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

A big blabbermouth, that's what you are

If you were a talk show host, you'd be a star

I said your mouth is big, size extra large

And when you open it, it's like my garage

You talk too much

And then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

You always like to gossip, just like a girl

You talk so damn much, it's outta this world

When you're reincarnated, in your second life

You won't be a man, you'll be a nagging wife

You talk too much

Then you never shut up

He said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

Shut up

Twenty-five hours, eight days a week

Thirteen months outta year, is when you speak

I'm tired of listening to the garbage you talk

Why don't you find a short pier, and take a long walk

You talk too much

Then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up

You talk too much

You could be, out of breath

You talk too much

Man you naggin' me to death

You talk too much

Tired of hearing you speak

You talk too much

Eight days a week

You talk too much

Then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Why don't you ever shut up

You talk too much

Then you never shut up

I said, "You talk too much"

Homeboy you never shut up
