Shy

After a month of just bein' alone, he said, "I wonder what L.A.'s thinkin'"

Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin'

When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white

The search was over at least for tonight

When she co-signed and then told him she was

Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy, lips say won't but her body say might

Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight

Oh baby, shy

After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation"

A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation

I shot the boy, "Pop! Pop!", huh, twice in the head

No regrets, no sorrow, I'm goin' back tomorrow to make sure he's dead

Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but you can call me

Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy, lips say won't but her body say might

Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight

Ahiye-aaa

Shy

Shy, lips say no but the body says might

Looks like we're gonna take a long way home

Looks like we're gonna take a long way home

Looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight

The girl was rough, but he called her bluff

And he told her not to know was better

Fact or fiction he wondered

And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter

And at the top of the page, he wrote

Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight

Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy, lips say won't but her body say might

Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight

Oh baby, don't you wanna be alone tonight?

Shy, yeah! (Oh yes)

Shy (shy)

Shy

Looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
