After a month of just bein' alone, he said, "I wonder what L.A.'s thinkin'"
Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin'
When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white
The search was over at least for tonight
When she co-signed and then told him she was
Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy, lips say won't but her body say might
Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
ย
Oh baby, shy
After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation"
A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation
I shot the boy, "Pop! Pop!", huh, twice in the head
No regrets, no sorrow, I'm goin' back tomorrow to make sure he's dead
Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but you can call me
Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy, lips say won't but her body say might
Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
Ahiye-aaa

Shy

Shy, lips say no but the body says might
Looks like we're gonna take a long way home
Looks like we're gonna take a long way home
Looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
The girl was rough, but he called her bluff
And he told her not to know was better
Fact or fiction he wondered
And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter
And at the top of the page, he wrote
Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
Shy, cool dark skin in hot virgin white
Shy, lips say won't but her body say might
Shy looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
Oh baby, don't you wanna be alone tonight?
Shy, yeah! (Oh yes)
Shy (shy)

Shy
Looks like we're gonna take a long way home tonight
