He's So Shy
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
He looked away but I did not care
Something inside whispered to me
You'd better move in carefully
And then he smiled and turned away
That told me all he could not say
That's when I knew
He wanted me too
But I had to do some breakin' through
He's so shy
So good lookin'
He's so shy
And he's really got me goin'
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
I'm so glad I got to know him
He's so shy
'Cause he's one in a million
And I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh, yes I will
Now holding him gently through the night
Nothin' has ever felt so right
And I'm so glad I took the time
That I had to take to make him mine
He can still do things to my heart
Just like he could right from the start
Each time I see
That quality
That never stops attracting me
He's so shy
That's why I love my baby
He's so shy
You know he's drivin' me crazy
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
I'm so glad I got to know him
He's so shy
And I'm so glad I got to show him
That I'll love him until the day I die
Oh, yes I will
He's so shy
Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
He's so shy
Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
He's so shy
And that's why
