JD McPherson - Shy Boy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

This thing trips on the shortest of lips

And when the winter wind is blowing cold

I got a big old heart, with malicious remarks

Just might hit me like a lightning bolt

(Chorus)

They say I was shaking from the day that I started to walk

I carry such a heavy load

Ya know you do a lotta damage when ya talk that talk

Cuz don't ya know I'm a shy boy?

(Verse 2)

I'm headin' to the wall at the top of the step

Feelin' like a smokin' gun

Talkin' to the voices that don't talk back

It's you and me that I'm runnin' from

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

A lil baby cries out when he meets the world

A new day feels the settin' sun

Talkin' to strangers, always scare me to death

And now here I am talkin' to one

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Can you truly take this fear away?

I keep it under lock and key

What if I make a mistake, I might not know what to say

Why do you put this burden on me?

(Chorus)
