Wish You Were Shy lyrics

if i could have in my fingertips
what;s on the tip of my tongue
i`d just speak your name and sweep you away
i`d want to take you today

(but) there`s a social religion
that stands as our division
so i sit and i pray
that before i get the nerve no one will take you away

ohiwish you were shy just like me
but i can`t even look you in the eye
i wish you were shy
but if you were
we might never be together

i strain for your attention
can`t we forget about convention
i`ve read all the books
please can`t you read my mind
you might like what you`ll find

i know i
shouldn`t talk just to myself
if i
could only get past the first word
oh i don`t know
