This thing trips on the shortest of lips And when the winter wind is blowing cold I got a big old heart, one malicious remark Just might hit me like a lightning bolt
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
I'm headed to the wall at the top of the steps Feeling like a smoking gun Talking to the voices that don't talk back It's you and me that I'm running from
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
A little baby cries out when he meets the world The new day fears the setting sun Talking to strangers always scared me to death And now here I am talking to one
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
Can you truly take this fear away? I keep it under lock and key What if I make a mistake? I might not know what to say Why do you put this burden on me?
They said I was shaky from the day that I started to walk I carry such a heavy load You know, you do a lot of damage when you talk that talk 'Cause don't you know I'm a shy boy
