I'm sittin' in the window of a street cafe
Watchin' you walking by each day
It seems that you always wanna look my way
Hey, you can't deny, boy
You're such a shy boy
So good looking you seem to be
But you're too tongue-tied to say hi to me
You could make it happen so easily
Whoa, I'll tell you why boy
'Cause I'm looking for a shy boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey, my reply, boy
Is gimme a shy boy
Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to
Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you're thinkin' that less is more
But honey, you still gotta knock on my door
Hey, just try boy
And you could be my boy
I'll tell you why boy
'Cause I'm looking for a shy boy
Just try boy, you're such a shy boy
