Someone's being bashful, that's no way to be Not with me, can't you see? That I am just as embarrassed as you And I can understand your point of view I've always been shy, I confess that I'm shy Can't you guess that this confident air is a mask that I wear cause I'm shy And you may be sure, way down deep I'm demure Though some people I know might deny it, at bottom I'm quiet and pure I'm aware that it's wrong to be meek as I am My chances may pass me by, I pretend to be strong But as weak as I am, all I can do is try, God knows I try Though I'm frightened and shy And despite the impression I give, I confess that I'm living a lie Because I'm actually terribly timid and horribly shy Though a lady may be dripping with glamour As often as not she will stumble and stammer When suddenly confronted with romance And she's likely to fall on her face When she's finally face to face with a pair of pants Quite often the lady's not as hard to please as she seems Quite often she'll settle for something less than the man of her dreams I'm going fishing for a mate She's going fishing for a mate I'm gonna look in every room She's gonna look in every room But how much longer must I wait? La la la with bated breath and hope She's looking for someone to love She's looking for someone to love I'm looking for someone to love me I'm looking for someone to love me I'm looking for someone to love Somehow, someday, somewhere, sometime, someplace, someway, someone who'll love me God knows I try Though I'm frightened and shy And despite the impression I give I confess that I'm living a lie She is living a lie So I'm asking you, which sir? You, sir? Not I, sir Well then who, sir? Where, sir? And when, sir? I couldn't be tenser So let's get this done, man Get on with the fun, man I am one man The lady is one man shy
