More than often when I'm with you
I become a nervous kid
I imagine your old girlfriends
I imagine what you did
I don't know if this is normal
I don't know if this is love
With you I get so formal
And I feel all this other stuff

Shy with you
Though I've been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want

Other guys I don't care about
So easy with them
Anything you can do without
So easy to win
I can't do without your love
So I try to play it cool
Everytime you call my bluff
I just stand there like a fool

Shy with you
Though I've been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want
Shy with you
Sometimes a heart can hurt a lot
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want

I need your love
I need your love to see me through
I want you
I want you and so it's true
Shy with you...shy with you...shy with you...

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
