Nat King Cole I'm A Shy Guy lyrics

I'm just a shy guy
My, my 'fraid to try guy
No lie, there's a gal that I idolize
But I just can't get my words to hypnotize

And when she pets me
You betcha, it gets me
And yet every time I hold her hand
I'm just too shy to say the things I plan

Every time she's close to me
My heart is filled with ecstasy
And like a dope
I let the chance slip by

There, I should have told her then

But all I did was sit and grin
And I ended up so mad
That I could cry

'Cause I'm a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, "Baby, baby, I love you"
Just like those guys in movin' pictures all do

I'm just a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, "Baby, baby, I love you"
Just like those guys in movin' pictures all do
