Shy Lyrics by Howie D

Which One Am I?

2019

I've never been the kind of guy
Who likes to be noticed and catch the eye
Of everyone in the room, I'd rather hide
Cause I'm shy
Shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
I'm shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
So shy
One day in English class, the teacher said to me
"Howie, would you please stand up and read chapter three"
And I freaked (freaked out) and pretended I lost my voice, but that was just a lie
Cause I'm shy
Shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
I'm shy
On the first day of summer, everyone went to the pool
And I knew I'd have to take off my shirt and feel like a fool
So I sat on the toilet and said I was sick but it was just butterflies
Cause I'm shy
Shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
I'm shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
So shy
I wanted to ask a girl to the dance and I knew just how I'd do it
I bought her a rose and I wrote her a poem and then somehow I blew it
Cause I stammered and stuttered and clamored and sweat and even started to cry
Why am I shy?
I know what you're thinking… "how could one guy be so shy?"
Well, I haven't been shy all my life
In fact, I remember a time where I wasn't shy at all
It was just last year in the third grade school musical
I played the part of a tree
Sure, I was nervous. Who wouldn't be? Being a tree ain't easy…
And all those people are just staring at me…
But when I got on that stag, I wasn't shaking like a leaf
I was me. The tree. Howie D
Sometimes I wanna just give up and stay inside all day
But that wouldn't be any fun alone and locked away
I may not have the courage yet but at least I'm willing to try…
Not to be
Shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
Not to be shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
Don't wanna be…
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
Don't wanna be…
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
Don't wanna be shy
