I Am the Shy Guy

I Am the Shy Guy                                 March 10, 2006

Another night has come,

And I've been so very alone.

Love is in the air,

For it's the season that keeps on giving.

Well, I just saw this woman so fair,

So lovely, she just ran a chill up my spine,

But I'm the shy guy,

And I always finish last.

I'm the shy guy,

And shy guys finish last.

Mick used to say to try sometime,

But I fear the rejection.

She's so beautiful,

Who could possibly beat her?

I guess I'll never know

Because I'm the shy guy,

And I'll finish last.

They say let your heart be your guide

And you'll be set free, free as a bird.

A boat is in the harbor,

But that's not what they're made for.

Well, I'm the perpetual bench warmer

In all aspects of my life,

And though I have no chance for peril,

I'm my own prison warden.

Love is kind of funny that way.

I know, for it's a stranger to me.

I saw her, and I could've gambled,

Rolled the dice, won the big jackpot,

But instead, I chose to take

The surest route to lost love,

And I lost, because I'm the shy guy.

I'm the shy guy, and don't ask why

I will always finish last.
