Lyrics
I didn’t see you
When you moved next door
Took no notice
Didn’t need to know the score
Heard the rumours
From the girls close by
Didn’t listen
‘Cause I’m just a little shy
Watched your car
Pull in the driveway
With that classic sixties look
Saw that she was sat beside you
Wonderin what it must have took
But I’m a shy girl
Holdin back and acting cool
Yeah, I’m a shy girl
‘Aint gonna be no fool
Ah huh
I’m just a shy girl
Holdin back and acting cool
She soon came over knockin
With those big blue eyes
And that pretty smile
Just came to say
Hi
Then she stayed a little while
Told me she was sharin
With her brother next door
I poored that girl
A little wine
And I soon found out some more
But I’m a shy girl
Holdin back and acting cool
Yeah, I’m a shy girl
‘Aint gonna be no fool
The sun was shining hot
And he was playin his guitar
Didn’t have no shirt on
As he got into his car
Hadn’t made my play yet
But he knew that I could see
I was waitin for that
Dream boy
To make his move on me
‘Cause I’m a shy girl
Holdin back and acting cool
Yeah, I’m a shy girl
‘Aint gonna be no fool
Hey,
But I’m not that shy baby
Then you took me out one night
Drinkin beer and playin pool
I knew you had me in your sights
But like I said baby
I ‘aint gonna be no fool
Huh,
I know how to play this game
I’m a shy girl
Holdin back and acting cool
Yeah, I’m a shy girl
‘Aint gonna be no fool
No,
‘Aint gonna be no fool
No,
I’m gonna play it cool
Well,
Maybe this time honey
I might be that fool
No more shy girl
No, no more
Shy girl…….
When you moved next door
Took no notice

Wonderin what it must have took
