- Taken from the "Jubilee: Live at Wolf Trap" performance and found on the album "Stones In The Road".
Mary Chapin Carpenter was born Feb. 21, 1958, in Princeton, N.J. Her father was an executive for Life magazine, and she spent part of her early life living in Japan. She grew up with a love of contemporary pop hits, although her mother's Woody Guthrie and Judy Collins records gave her some interest in country/folk music. She spent her time at home with her guitar, and her father encouraged her to perform at talent nights.
Enrolling in Brown University, Carpenter earned a degree in American civilization. Between college years she would play local bars and clubs in the Washington, DC area. By 1986, she was a local star, winning five Washington Area Music Awards. She released her 1987 debut "Hometown Girl", produced by guitarist/producer John Jennings.
She returns to Washington almost every summer to perform at the popular outdoor venue Wolftrap.
Shut Up and Kiss Me lyrics:
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 so long since somebody whispered
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
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 darlin', 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 darlin' 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...
Oh baby I can feel this feeling that everything that you do gives me
It's been too long since somebody whispered
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up and kiss me
That band is tight!!!
I have a memory of her singing this at an award show & Prince, popping in and kissing her! I can't find it though! Anyone else?
My favorite song , but ❤ them all.yes, she puts on a great concert.
Always loved Mary Chapin!
Man she looks like she's having a GREAT time.
Back when my son was little we didn't say "Shut up" we still don't but he was maybe 6-7yrs old when this song came out and he would sing it "Be quiet and kiss me"....until I told him that for this song only it was ok to say shut up
You're really strong in this Song what i love you Mary💜
Remember buying the "Stones in the Road" album, and being captivated by the whole album. Great singer / songwriter, and a great band!
Love ya Mary

I have always liked the way that she writes songs that kind of take the old guy's perspective songs and turn them around. Shows that women can have the same thoughts as guys......and usually do ;)
Ms. Carpenter is so awesome!

Love this lady!!!

"Shut Up and Kiss Me"...Mary Chapin's lone No. 1 hit, as an artist. But 3 No. 2's and 18 Top 20s highlight a great career. She rocks her best with this cut!
great song
Sometimes I forget how good she is. Then I saw this. Thanks, retafmil.
Love this
Absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting!

Words I'd like to hear............I am at 78 all the time.............

Thanks, Jo, for putting me onto this Lady

Anyone else get a Warren Zevon vibe here?
Wow that guy plays mean fiddle brilllient
I love the way MCC looks over at John J. and smiles. You can see from that one look how much affection she has for him and how much he means to her.
Also, who is her bass player during this time?
❤️ MCC!
Oh ya

Almost every site I look into has folks who love whomever and jerks who detract and write garbage about whatever artist. It's indicative of Carpenter's talent and that of her players that there are no idiots such as that here ....
