I’m A Shy Guy Lyrics
Nat King Cole
(nathaniel cole)
Im just a shy guy,
My, Im a fraid-to-try guy
No lie.
Theres a gal that I idolize
But I just cant seem to hypnotize.
And when she pets me,
You betcha, it gets me.
And everytime I hold her hand,
Im just too shy to say the things I plan.
Everytime shes close to me,
My heart is filled with ecstasy,
And like a dope, I let the chance slip by.
There, I should have told her then
But all I did was sit and grin,
And I ended up so mad that I could cry.
cause Im a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, baby, baby, I love you
Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.
~interlude~
Im just a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, baby, baby, I love you
Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.
