Timid Lyrics

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 s**ual -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
