So Shy

Tell me why? Are you so shy?

You're in your teens
But still as bashful as can be
You're acting like a silly little child of three
When I hold your hand
You try to pull it free from me
Tell me why?, (Tell me why?)
Are you so shy? (Tell me why?)

Every time I look into your frightened face
I hate to let you know
I need your warm embrace
Please, believe I'm moving at a turtle's pace

Tell me why? Tell me why?
Darn it baby (Darn it baby)
Because you're so shy, so shy (so shy)

You got the lips that I adore
You got the kiss I long for
I can't play your game no more
Come on baby, what you waitin' for

Open up your arms before we both get old
Forget about the stories
That your grandma told
Can't you understand
It's not a sin to have and hold
Tell me why? (Tell me why?)
Are you so shy? (Are you so shy?)

(You got the lips), that I adore
(You got the kiss), I long for
(I can't play) your game no more
Come on baby, what you waitin' for

Open up your eyes before we both get old
Forget about the stories
That your grandma told
Can't you understand
It's not a sin to have and hold
Tell me why? (Tell me why?)
Are you so shy? (Are you so shy?)
