Nat King Cole - I'm A Shy Guy lyrics

(Nathaniel Cole)

I'm just a shy guy,

My, I'm a 'fraid-to-try guy

No lie.

There's a gal that I idolize

But I just can't seem to hypnotize.

And when she pets me,

You betcha, it gets me.

And everytime I hold her hand,

I'm just too shy to say the things I plan.

Everytime 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 I 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.

~interlude~

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.
