[Verse 1]
You're pretty, we're drinkin', so I say what I'm thinkin'
"How come everybody's dancin' but you?"
A deep conversation, a last-minute invitation
Yeah, I'm gonna make this easy for you
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's like this, I put you on my list
So come downtown if you're around
I hope you do, baby, I insist
I don't care what they say about you
So sick of everybody tellin' me what to do
When all I need is your eyes across the room
Yeah, those eyes across the room
[Chorus]
Shy boy, stir me up
Get a little something for your morning cup
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah
Shy boy, stir me up
You didn't even know you got the Midas touch
Touch, touch, touch, touch
Woah (Come pick me up)
[Post-Chorus]
Shy boy, boy, boy, boy
Woah
Shy boy, boy, boy
Woah
[Verse 2]
You show up, you show late
Thе room spins, the earth quakes
I admit that I was waiting for you
My friеnds want to meet ya
But they're only gonna tease ya
'Cause we made a bet you wouldn't come through
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's like this, I put you on my list
So come downtown if you're around
I hope you do, baby, I insist
I don't care what they say about you
So sick of everybody tellin' me what to do
When all I need is your eyes across the room (Hey)
Yeah, those eyes across the room
[Chorus]
Shy boy, stir me up (Stir me up)
Get a little something for your morning cup
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah
Shy boy, stir me up (Stir me up)
You didn't even know you got the Midas touch
Touch, touch, touch, touch
Woah (Come pick me up)
[Post-Chorus]
Shy boy, boy, boy, boy
Woah
Shy boy, boy, boy
Woah
[Bridge]
He's got the Midas touch (Stir me up)
Everything he touch turns to gold
Oh, sugar
He's got the Midas touch
Everything he touch turns to gold
Oh, sugar
[Chorus]
Shy boy, stir me up (Stir me up)
Get a little something for your morning cup
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah (He's got the Midas touch)
Shy boy, stir me up
You didn't even know you got the Midas touch
Touch, touch, touch, touch (Turns to gold)
Woah
[Outro]
Touch, touch (Stir me up)
You can touch my body
Touch, touch
You can touch my body
He's got the Midas touch (Stir me up)
Everything he touch turns to gold

I listened to the final result when I was in London, and I had just had a session with James. We’d done some ad libs, and I remember dancing. I was so worried that with how much it had gone through that it would not feel effortless to listen to. But it feels easy. It feels simple. It feels like flir...
