Shy Lyrics - The Gold Experience - Prince

After a month of just bein' alone he said, "I wonder what L.A.'s thinkin'" 

Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin' 

When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white 

The search was over at least 4 2night 

When she co-signed and then told him she was ... 

CHORUS: 

Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white 

Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might 

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night 

Oh baby (Shy) 

After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation 

A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation 

I shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the head 

No regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's dead 

Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me ... "

CHORUS 

Shy 

Shy - Lips say no but the body say might 

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home. 

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home. 

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night 

The girl was rough, but he called her bluff 

And he told her not 2 know was better 

Fact or fiction he wondered 

And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter 

And at the top of the page he wrote ... 

Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white 

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night 

CHORUS 

(Oh, say it now, yeah) 

(Shy, shy!) 

(Shy)
