Lyrics

Shyin' Away

I'm shyin' away from you

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really don't want to

But I have to

So i'm shyin away from you (shyin' away)

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really can't let you

But I love you and I need ya darlin'

Long before I had him here

So many times I felt you here

Feeling deeply as I do

I can't help but shy from you

So i'm shyin away from you (shyin' away)

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really don't want to

But I love you, and I need ya baby

My desires keep flowing back

I hold inside the love you lack

I wind up shyin' away

Holding my love another day

I'm shyin away from you (shyin' away)

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really don't want to

But I love you, and I need ya darlin'

Baby baby baby baby

I'm shyin away from you (shyin' away)

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really don't want to

But I love you

I'm shyin away from you (shyin' away)

Shyin' away from feelin' blue

Yes I know what I want and I really don't want to

But I love you
