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

Mary Chapin Carpenter's music always cheers me up. Her voice is so beautiful. Her music and lyrics are always powerful. And she always looks like she is happy and having fun in her live performances and in her music videos.

[@jgordainc]

Mary in my opinion is a " Country Rocker "! In any case a very talented singer!

[@notbraindead7298]

Mary has it all. She’s hot, she’s cool, she’s beautiful, she’s smart, she’s mega-talented and I love her.

[@tatu2003]

I have no idea why this woman is sooooooooooooooooo underrated.....She plays so smartful and words has point! I will always love Mary! So perfect to my ears...

[@Santistaspn]

I agree with you. She is a great singer, composer, arranger, intuitive, charismatic, inspiring, different, sexy. A genuine style. I bought everything out there on the 90’s.

[@bigglilwayne7050]

Because for some reason people get her confused with Winona Judd

[@HeathenCub]

She wasn't underrated in the 90s. You couldn't turn the dial and not hear one of her songs. The underratedness of women in country is something old and recent. The 80s and 90s was filled with country women singers.

[@CatherineWolf-nv6ou]

I make this observation with no intent on causing controversy. The Judd's seemed to have over shadowed others , Wynonna's "growl," along with the iconic Naomi's country royalty status seemed to have over awed genre fans. MCC growl, well I still listen and enjoy. Shut Up And Kiss Me = MCC! 😎💕MCC

[@randalldickson2270]

She was considered a country artist right? Damn, this is a straight up rocker. I'm still smiling.

[@michaelgiffey5108]

I know it doesn't matter to her, but what does this beautiful talented woman have to do to get radio airplay and to get on the charts? She has more talent in her little finger than most so called 'artists' today have in their whole bodies

[@eugeneh1446]

None of the Ca stations that play country have any of the older generation songs playing these days it’s all the new stuff that doesn’t have the same feel

[@makeupboss3568]

She was good and a lot of her music is hard to find on the radio stations here in Pennsylvania, I miss hearing this stuff . Kind mid to late 90’s , nostalgic for my late adulthood. Pre - Baby , and life was interesting still., ( it got harder , but it’s all about being a parent. ) yet , still I’m browsing through KZbin for this music. Crazy , yes, but when you really want to hear pure CM , you gotta go searching.

[@makeupboss3568]

@@freethrice she’s got a beautiful, lower register , that has that slightly sultry sound .

[@Shelby_GT500_Mustang]

IMHO, THE BEST ERA IN COUNTRY MUSIC IS THE '50s THROUGH THE END OF THE '90s!!. COUNTRY MUSIC WAS THE REAL DEAL BACK THEN, AND THIS MODERN COUNTRY OF TODAY IS JUNK!!. THE FEMALE COUNTRY ARTISTS OF THAT ERA DEFINITELY DRESSED MORE APPROPRIATELY AND THEY RESPECTED THEMSELVES, WHICH IS A FAR CRY FROM MOST OF THE FEMALE SINGERS OF TODAY, AND NOT JUST IN COUNTRY MUSIC, BUT IN EVERY GENRE!!.

[@douglas2902]

She's still making good music but she's never got the recognition she deserves. Shine on MCC

She's won a bunch of grammies but it still doesn't seem like enough.

And today's so-called " country music," for the most part, sucks! In my opinion, the 80's and 90's were the two best decades for country music. What the heck happened to this music genre?
