I'm A Shy Guy

Nat King Cole · Jukebox Hits 1942-1953 [2011]

(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.
