Well I came out as a shy boy
They should`ve seen my score
Well I came out as a shy boy
You should`ve seen my score
If I had seen my potential
I could have scored much more
Now I tried to speak with silence
I didn`t make much noise
Now I tried to speak in silence
I didn`t make much noise
All it seemed to get me
Was more respect from all the boys
Now I tried the suffering artist
That didn`t bring me much
Now I tried the suffering artist
That didn`t bring me much
Well I began to wonder
Could I be losing my touch?
Well I ain`t never tried my hardest
I only done my best
I ain`t never tried my hardest
I only done my best
If you`d like to push me
I`m sure I`d find the rest
I may never get to heaven
I didn`t read that book
I may never get to heaven
I didn`t read that book
But at least I had one woman
Who gave me one sweet look
