Wish You Were Shy

                                  If I could have in my fingertips

What;s on the tip of my tongue

I'd just speak your name and sweep you away

I'd want to take you today

(but) there's a social religion

That stands as our division

So I sit and I pray

That before I get the nerve no one will take you away

Oh I wish you were shy just like me

But I can't even look you in the eye

I wish you were shy

But if you were

We might never be together

I strain for your attention

Can't we forget about convention

I've read all the books

Please can't you read my mind

You might like what you'll find

I know I

Shouldn't talk just to myself

If I

Could only get past the first word

Oh I don't know
