Alex Lifeson: Shut Up Shuttin' Up

I don't ask for much
I really don't.
I just want him
To put the seat down
What are you talking about
'you don't ask for much'?
You ask for everything!

Well, i just want him
To put the seat down
When he goes
To the bathroom at night.
I go in there and i sit down
And it's cold and wet
And there's more hair
On his feet then on his head

No
I like the hairs on the floor what are they doing?
Oh
There's a shag carpet everyday
And this above the toilet.
What are they so tall
That they have to lean over? is it that heavy?
It's so heavy
Oh my god
Their only good for one thing
And we know what that is

What is that?
Don't tell me
I keep forgetting
Just play the guitar

He's still talking to me
About that vacation we took
He still wants the details.
Come on like
I can't take it anymore
What am i suppose to do?
Did you throw away the pictures?
Oh, those pictures!
If he saw those pictures
He'd have a heart attack!

Those guys were gorgeous
Oh were they ever
But he wants to know
'where did you go
Did you go to a bar
Did you dance close
Did you dance far?'
I know
'what were you wearing?'

Oh my god
'were they looking at you
Who danced with you
'did they come home with you?
Who drove you home?
Were they younger than me
Older than me
Did they treat you
Better than me?'
But you know what?
(oh god it was awful!)
I always tell him
'honey, just shut up
And play the guitar!'

Has he asked you
To play a hooker?
Ah...i can't believe
You're saying that
He does that to me
All the time!
(all the time)

They're all the same
It's sickening!
Hookers, lipstick
(big hair, tiny makeup
The sluty outfits)
Mascara, false eye-lashes.
The thing with the false eye-lashes!

Does he want you to shave?
The whole thing
Everything, dye things
Oh my, their all the same
I'm so sick of it
We're different
Women are so different
The only thing is
We wouldn't get paid for it
Oh god, well
They pay for it okay
In the long run?
Oh, in the short run
Because they just have
To play the guitar!

Do you find that
He always want's attention
It's (constantly)
Always him him him him him ?
Constant attention
I can't take it
He comes home
And he wants me to caress him
And tell him how great
He is and this and this

Shut up
I love you, i love you
You're the best
There is no one else
Like really
How many times am i supposed
To tell him that?
All i want to do is relax
Have a nice little drink
(shut up)

Give him a little hug
But it always leads
To something else
Yea, you can't just hug
You have to go on and on
And then the comes out

(it always turns sexual)
(just shut up)
Unbelievable
It just goes on and on and on

(just shut up shuttin' up).
Their only good
For one thing
Just play the guitar!

Shut up! ah, just shut up!
Man! shut up shuttin' up!
Shut up, shut, shut, shut it
Shut it all up. shut up... shuttin' up!
