\n

I never know what to say\r
\nNever know how to act\r
\nDon't know when to speak\r
\nOr how to react\r
\n\r
\n

I've got some friends\r
\nThey love me to death\r
\nThey laugh at my jokes\r
\nWhile I hold my breath\r
\n\r
\n

I'm scared of new people\r
\nAnd I don't like big crowds\r
\nI prefer to be silent\r
\nSo please don't be loud\r
\n\r
\n

I've always been shy\r
\nKeep my thoughts in my head\r
\nBut I don't want to be lonely\r
\nDoes that have to be said?\r
\n\r
\n

You know what I mean\r
\nDo I have to explain?\r
\nI'd rather not cry\r
\nI'll just deal with my pain\r
\n\r
\n

I'd love to be liked\r
\nAnd I'd like to be loved\r
\nBut I don't want to push you\r
\nAnd I hate being shoved\r
\n\r
\n

Just look in my eyes\r
\nAnd you'll hear what I say\r
\nI know that you would\r
\nIf you'd just turn my way\r
\n\r
\n

I like being quiet\r
\nAnd I like peaceful places\r
\nBut please don't forget me\r
\nOne of those nameless faces\r
\n\r
\n

I want you to know me\r
\nAnd not have to remind you\r
\nAnd we could have long talks\r
\nLet my intelligence blind you\r
\n\r
\n

But I've always been shy\r
\nEver since I was young\r
\nSo I'll keep sitting here\r
\nAnd keep holding my tongue\r
\n\r
\n\r
