Timid 

I remember when I met you, had to get you 
Didn’t want to sweat you, still had to let you 
Know, girl, you were Best In Show 
And I’d really like to know if you sexual –ly (haha) 
So I crept up slowly 
Tried to holler at you, but I started choking 
Couldn’t come up with my own first name 
Let alone your name, with my blown nerd game 
And when no words came, I had to think 
“Can I buy you something? Like… yeah, a drink?” 
My heart starts to race ’cause I love the chase 
Then I said to her, “I like your… face 
Wait, I mean I like your eyes… 
They’re colorful… and I like the size 
I like your thighs… are you size 10? 
I’m sorry… can we just start again?” 

I’d love to talk to you… I’d love to walk with you 
But it’s more difficult… than it seems 
I wanna know you… I wanna hold you 
But I’m so timid, ’cause you’re out of my league 

It was the first, but it wouldn’t be the last time 
In fact, the next time the dime passed by 
I felt my mind lapse, and then I asked why 
I always end up getting cast as “That Guy” 
Who acts shy, and never gets his game right 
Shamed by the same ol’ same dame plight 
Things might get better if the rain might 
Lay off, and take it’s aim off my life 
And I’m rife with mostly error 
Seems like I’m caught in a ghostly terror 
I try to say something, but nothing comes 
So I sit in a stupor, shocked and stunned 
Grasping for words, please find a line 
Ask her her name, anything’s fine 
Coming up blank, another swing and a miss 
A blown opportunity for being in bliss 

I’d love to talk to you… I’d love to walk with you 
But it’s more difficult… than it seems 
I wanna know you… I wanna hold you 
But I’m so timid, ’cause you’re out of my league 

A year later, saw her again 
In the club with her doll-looking friends 
So I hollered again, said, “Hey girl, my name is Doc 
If you’ve got a second, I’d love to talk 
See I met you… awhile back 
I smiled at you and you smiled back 
So I crept up to you, tried to start a convo 
Sorry, but I’m just no Don Juan, though 
Swallowed my foot, I started to choke 
Sentence was broken, sound like a joke 
You probably laughed after, and that’s cool 
I would’ve laughed, too, if I had been you 
But the truth, you just have to know 
I think that you’re gorgeous, incredible 
And if you say “yes” and take this chance 
I can show you true romance, let’s dance” 

I’d love to talk to you… I’d love to walk with you 
But it’s more difficult… than it seems 
I wanna know you… I wanna hold you 
But I’m so timid, ’cause you’re out of my league 

I’d love to talk to you… I’d love to walk with you 
But it’s more difficult… than it seems 
I wanna know you… I wanna hold you 
But I’m so timid, ’cause you’re out of my league
