Lyrics for Shut Up and Let Me Go as interpreted by mrcleaver

Shut Up and Let Me Go Lyrics
Shut up and let me go
This hurts I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
So shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you've changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily you're over me
Gone is love it's you that aught to be
Holding me, I'm not containable
This time love is not sustainable

I ain't freaking, I ain't faking this...
Shut up and let me go, hey.

Shut up and let me go
This hurts what I can't show
For the last time you have me in bits
Shut up and let me go
For fear of living in regret
I changed since from - when we first met

Now oh so easily you're over me
Gone is love it's me that ought to be
Moving on you're not adorable
I want something un-ignorable

I ain't freaking, I ain't faking this...
Shut up and let me go, hey.

Oh love, hold this!

I think it's about an abrubt break up or maybe it's like after a break up and someones still trying to hold on and she just wants move on.

Love this song, discovered it through the new Apple ad.

It's definitely about a breakup. For some reason, the guy left her and said she didn't mean anything to him anymore, thus "Now oh so easily your over me / Gone is love."

However, the guy comes back to apologize, but the girl is in the process of moving on. The idea that he wants back is tempting ("It's you that ought to be holding me") but she knows that she needs to move on. This battled between herself is hurting her ("This hurts I told you so") She says that he was attracted to her, and that he was never really attractive to her ("You're not adorable / I was something unignorable.") And so, she tells him "shut up and let me go"

I think it's about a girl who was really in love with a guy but it was always a one sided relationship. She gave her best and he took her for granted. Now he want's her and she's done with him because she's over it.

It's damn catchy really - I can't stop istening to it!

No big implicit lyrics here - very self explanatory. They break up, he broke her heart, he wants her back - she's having none of it as she's over him and can see right through him.

The video is pretty ace as well, but it seems kinda off for the song? Maybe it's just me.

well the song is catchy, but im gonna spell it out here...
this song is about a resentful bitch who thought the relationship at her control, but then the guy leaves and she realizes that shes the one caught up in it and denies it believing hes the one that she feel like this because she was too good for him

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go!
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's you that ought to be holding me
I'm not containable
This turns up
It's not sustainable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, well I can't show
For the last time you had me in bits
Now shut up and let me go!
For fear of leaving in regret
I've changed since prom when we first met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's me that ought to be moving on
You're not adorable
I was something unignorable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Oh... love...
Hold... this...
Hey
Hey

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I told you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Hey!

I think lesea had all of the lyrics right except...


"For fear of LIVING in regret..."

I hear living... and it makes more sense...

I heard on the radio that The Ting Tings actually wrote this song about their old record label, not about a guy

*Your jeans were once so clean

Haha well I think it says your jeans weren't once so clean because she's basically saying he was trashy while they were togather and cleaned up after they broke up.
and *I've changed since prom when we first met*
is I've changed and grown since we first met.

Haha well it just makes more sense to me that way I guess?

Well, if personal experiences count, I suppose it could be about Jules divorce (after all he is the one writing for the band), after 13 years together he had an affair with Katie while producing her band TKO and his wife left him. He tried to get back with her many times and she didn’t want to know.
