Shucks, folks, I guess I’m speechless
I think the lion’s got my tongue
When I was younger, in social situations
I was so much braver than today

Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?
Why do you have to talk to me?
Can’t you see I’m suffering a painful case of shyness?
What am I doing at this party?

I’m shy.

When I’m at home in my own kitchen
I am not bashful nor timid
It’s only at these gatherings of influential people
who are schmoozing as if they were born to mingle!

I’m shy.

My mother says I’m self-effacing
My sweetheart says I’m just reserved
Someday I will converse with anyone who speaks to me,
and shine with all the prowess I deserve.

I’m shy.
I don’t know why but I’m shy.
