Nat “King” Cole
I’m a Shy Guy
I'm just a shy guy
My my, afraid-to-try guy, no lie
There's a gal that I idolize
But I just can't words to hypnotize
And when she pets me
You betcha, it gets me
And yet, every time I hold her hand
I'm just too shy to say the things I planned
Every time she's 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 ended up so mad that I could cry
'Cause I'm 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
I'm 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
