The Nat King Cole Trio - I'm a Shy Guy

(Nathaniel Cole)

I'm just a shy guy
My, I'm a 'fraid-to-try guy
No lie
There's a gal that I idolize
But I just can't seem to hypnotize

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

Everytime 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 moving pictures all do
