Shy (X-cerpt)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
After a month of just being alone he said
I wonder what L.A. 's thinking
Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinking
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 going to take the long way home tonight
Ooh baby, don't you want to be alone tonight?
Shy
Yeah (oh yes)
Shy (shy)
Shy
Looks like we're going to take the long way home tonight
