Shy shy girl 
Standing with the wallflowers 
Wishing you had stayed at home 
You kick yourself for coming 
When you're standing there all alone 
The centers of attention 
Are busy making all their moves 

While all the guys are looking at them 
I've got my eye on you 
Only you 
You might think you're nothing special 
You might be losing heart 
But baby don't you realize 

How beautiful you really are 
Shy girl 
It?s written on your face 
A mermaid out of water 
Feeling out of place 
Shy girl 

Trying to hide a blush 
Caught you looking for a second 
Felt my heart rush 
don't run away 
don't be afraid 
don't be shy girl 
So beautiful 

Shy shy girl 
I'm moving in closer 
Slowly trying to break the ice 
But it?s hard to get a lock 
On your downward glancing eyes 
You might think you're nothing special 
But I'm about to lose heart 
But baby don't you realize 

How beautiful you really are 
Chorus 
Now I'm standing right in front of you 
I confess I'm nervous too 
Girl you know there something going on 
And not to give a chance 
Would be so wrong 

Shy girl 
It?s written on your face 
A mermaid out of water 
Feeling out of place 
Shy girl 
Trying to hide a blush 

Pretending that there's nothing 
Between the two of us 
don't run away 
don't be afraid 
don't be shy girl 
Chorus to fade
