About Shy Boy

"Shy Boy" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It appears on their 1983 debut album Deep Sea Skiving and was released as its second single. It was written and produced by the production team of Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and marked the first in a long line of studio collaborations between them and Bananarama. The song is rumoured to be a tribute to teenaged London pirate radio comedian Mark Gould whom Bananarama subsequently demanded as their Christmas present for 1983 on the Christmas edition of BBC1's Show Business programme, which was broadcast on 16 December 1983. Released in summer 1982, "Shy Boy" became the third consecutive single by Bananarama to hit the top-five, reaching number four in the UK singles chart. It also was a success in Australia, where it reached number two, becoming their first top 40 hit in that country. Top-ten success also followed in New Zealand and Canada. "Shy Boy" charted well on the U. S. Hot Dance Club Play chart and was the first of Bananarama's singles to dent the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 83. The song was known as "Shy Boy (Don't it make you feel good)" in the USA.

Shoop shoop aah
Shoop shoop aah
Shoop shoop aah
Shoop shoop aah

He used to be a shy boy 
Until I made him my boy 
I never missed a heart beat 
Just sitting in the back seat 
Yeah 

I'm gonna give him all my love 
Each and every night 
One thing I'm always dreaming of 
I wanna squeeze and hold him tight 

But don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
Don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 

Every minute we're together 
Seems to last forever 
He knows about a good time 
Gonna make him all mine 
All mine 

He gives me loving like nobody else 
I like the way he turns me on 
I wanna keep him all to myself 
If my heart could be that strong 

But don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
Don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 

I'm gonna give him all my love 
Each and every night 
One thing I'm always dreaming of 
I wanna squeeze and hold him tight 

But don't it make you 
Shoop shoop aah 
But don't it make you 
Shoop shoop aah 

He gives me loving like nobody else 
I like the way he turns me on 
I wanna keep him all to myself 
If my heart could be that strong 

But don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
Don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah 
And don't it make you feel good 
Shoop shoop aah
