Can you shelter me

From this anxiety

Hey baby don't look me in the eye

'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy

Sexually shy shy shy



I don't know why

With other girls I'm fine

But with you baby I'm shy shy shy

I hate for you to see me like this

'Cause nowhere else in my life

Does this exist



Can you shelter me

From this anxiety

Hey baby don't look me in the eye

'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy

I'm sexually shy shy shy



Every time we talk

I can't catch my breath

I want a conversation

But I scare myself

I really can't hide behind this lie

'Cause with you baby

I'm shy shy shy



Woman

Well I'm ashamed to say

Woman

That I'm afraid this way

Woman

Yeah

Woman

I gotta stop acting so crazy



Can you shelter me

From this anxiety

Hey baby don't look me in the eye

'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy

Sexually I'm shy shy shy



Can you shelter me

From this anxiety yeah

Hey baby don't look me in the eye

'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy



Can you shelter me

From this anxiety yeah

Hey baby don't look me in the eye

'Cause I'm sexually shy shy shy

Sexually I'm shy shy shy



I don't know why

With other girls I'm fine

But with you baby I'm shy shy shy

I don't know why

With other women I'm fine

But with you baby I'm shy shy shy



I don't know why

I don't know why
