I’m Shy Lyrics by Self Esteem

Compliments Please

2019

[Verse 1]
Take mine
Did everything you wanted, did it all
And I'm fine leaving it friendly without ever knowing all

[Pre-Chorus]
But I have decided
I was sure
You over all of them
You over all
I have decided
I was sure
You over all of them
You over all

[Chorus]
And every single time I got something to say
I chew on it and spit on it, and say it anyway
I know I don’t behave the way you want me to be
I'd love to change my ways but it's too late

[Verse 2]
I’m shy
I'm needy but I love it when you leave
If I'm high, I'll entertain until they've had enough of me

[Pre-Chorus]
But I have decided
I was sure
You over all of them
You over all
I have decided
I was sure
You over all of them
You over all

[Chorus]
And every single time I got something to say
I chew on it and spit on it, and say it anyway
I know I don't behave the way you want me to be
I'd love to change my ways but it's too late
And every single time I got something to say
I chew on it and spit on it, and say it anyway
I know I don’t behave the way you want me to be
I’d love to change my ways but it's too late

[Bridge]
You don’t need so much help
Do it all by yourself
You don't need so much help
Do it all by yourself

[Chorus]
And every single time I got something to say
I chew on it and spit on it, and say it anyway
I know I don't behave the way you want me to be
I'd love to change my ways but it’s too late
And every single time I got something to say
I chew on it and spit on it, and say it anyway
I know I don't behave the way you want me to be
I'd love to change my ways but it's too late

[Outro]
I was sure, you over all
I was sure, you over all
I was sure, you over all
I was sure, you over all
