[Verse 1]
When I first saw him standing there
I longed to speak but did not dare
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 breaking through
[Chorus]
He's so shy
He's so shy
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
He's so shy
And he's much too good to let get by
Oh yes he is
[Verse 2]
Now holding him gently through the night
Nothing 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 did right from the start
Each time I see that quality
That never stops attracting me
[Chorus]
He's so shy (so good lookin')
He's so shy (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)
That I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh yes I will
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
He's so shy (That's why I love my baby)
He's so shy (You know it's drivin' me crazy)
That sweet little boy who caught my eye (I said)
He's so shy (took a long time to know him)
He's so shy (and I'm so glad I got to show him)
That I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh yes I will
[Outro]
He's so shy (Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, baby)
He's so shy (Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, baby)
He's so shy
When I first saw him standing there
I longed to speak but did not dare
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 breaking through
[Chorus]
He's so shy
He's so shy
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
He's so shy
And he's much too good to let get by
Oh yes he is
[Verse 2]
Now holding him gently through the night
Nothing 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 did right from the start
Each time I see that quality
That never stops attracting me
[Chorus]
He's so shy (so good lookin')
He's so shy (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)
That I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh yes I will
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
He's so shy (That's why I love my baby)
He's so shy (You know it's drivin' me crazy)
That sweet little boy who caught my eye (I said)
He's so shy (took a long time to know him)
He's so shy (and I'm so glad I got to show him)
That I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh yes I will
[Outro]
He's so shy (Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, baby)
He's so shy (Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee, baby)
He's so shy
