How can I make him mine
How can I let him know
How can I ever tell him
That I just love him so

Why, why, why oh why
Why am I so shy?

(Shy, am I, oh why, oh why am I so shy?)

Why don't I walk right over
And say just how I feel?
I'm always dreaming of him
I wish my dreams were real

Why, why, why oh why
Why am I so shy?

(Why am I so shy?)

The first time that I saw him
I didn't even speak a word
Now this is the second time
I guess I'll wait for the third

I'm so afraid to tell him
The words that I rehearsed
I don't suppose I'll tell him
Unless he tells me first

Why, why, why oh why
Why am I so shy?

(Shy, am I, oh why, oh why am I so shy?)

Why am I so shy?
Why am I so shy?
