Shy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to make me nervous
Much easier to piss me off
But whenever you're around, babe
I kiss the ground you're walkin' on

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a good time to be alive
I'm good at keepin' it cute, but on the inside
I'm freakin' out, thinkin' 'bout how bad I need you

[Chorus]
Don't handle me with care
When you're pullin' my hair
Baby, ruin my life
I want it bad, I swear
That I'm really not scared
I'm just a little bit shy

[Post-Chorus]
So shy, yeah-yeah
So shy, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
I'm violent when I'm drinkin' (Ah-ah-ahh)
I'm violent when I'm sober too (Ah-ah-ahh)
Mm, I'm useful in a bar fight (Ah-ah-ahh)
But my hands work differently on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a good time to be alive
I'm good at keepin' it cute, but on the inside
I'm freakin' out, thinkin' 'bout how bad I need you (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Don't handle me with care
When you're pullin' my hair
Baby, ruin my life
I want it bad, I swear
That I'm really not scared
I'm just a little bit shy

[Post-Chorus]
So shy, yeah-yeah
So shy, yeah-yeah

[Bridge]
Come on and cross my heart and hope to die
I'm thinkin' somewhere in between your thighs
I wanna mark it up like "X" and "O"
'Cause, baby, I'll do things your exes won't
Come on and cross my heart and hope to die
I'm thinkin' I'll try yours and you'll try mine
I wanna mark it up like "X" and "O"
Okay, now take off all your clothes

[Chorus]
Don't handle me with care
When you're pullin' my hair
Baby, ruin my life (Yeah, yeah)
I want it bad, I swear
That I'm really not scared
I'm just a little bit shy (Shy)

[Post-Chorus]
So shy, yeah-yeah
So shy, yeah-yeah
