“Shyness & Pain”

I never did get her name, or her number

I watched her walk on by, like all the others
I didn’t know what to say, and it makes me feel like a fool
And when she looked my way, I didn’t do what I should do!

They call it Shyness & Pain, They’re one and the same, takes all my pride
Shyness & Pain, again, and again, A lover’s suicide

Some never learn their lesson, you better talk or she’ll walk away
Well I stand here confessing, Sometimes I, I still get this way

The more I feel attraction, you know the less I find the words
The greater this reaction, No, No, the less I got the nerve

Shyness & Pain, again, and again, takes all my pride
Shyness & Pain, They’re one and the same, A lover’s suicide

I don’t like to talk about it, I don’t go out anymore
I need to take more chances, that’s what living is for

But, Shyness & Pain, again, and again, takes all my pride
Shyness & Pain, They’re one and the same, A lover’s suicide

Shyness & Pain, They’re one and the same, takes all my pride
Shyness & Pain, again, and again, A lover’s suicide
