I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe Watchin' you walking by each day, It seems that you always wanna look my way Hey, you can't deny, boy, You're such a shy boy. So good looking you seem to be But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me, You could make it happen so easily Woah, I'll tell you why boy, 'Cause I'm looking for a shy boy Most guys advertise By making eyes and telling lies If you only knew, You could make your dreams come true All you gotta do is ask me to If this was a quiz on a TV show And the prize was a guy who would love me so Whatever they ask, the answer I know Hey, my reply boy Is gimme a shy boy. Most guys advertise By making eyes and telling lies If you only knew You could make your dreams come true All you gotta do is ask me to Some guys act a bit too sure And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door Hey, just try boy, And you could be my boy I'll tell you why boy I'm looking for a shy boy, Just try boy, you're such a shy boy
