Don't Be Shy
Burnham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wasn't that long ago
That I laid my eyes on you
My heart skipped a beat
Or two

Oh oh oh

Now your just catching up
What your feelin' is love
It gets me down
To walk

Oh oh ooh

Oh it's okay if you're afraid
That's natural
But first off baby let me say

Don't be shy
Cause I feel what your
Feeling too
So it's alright
I'll make the first move
And pretty soon you'll realize
Those are all just butterflies
So don't be shy
Just put your hand in mine

Oh woah baby don't be shy

Oh oh woah
No baby don't be

I know your feeling so
Nothin is uncomfortable
It's ok just let it go

Oh oh oh

Now there's a voice that's tellin' you get up and try somethin'
New
That's the one you should listen to

Oh oh oh

Oh it's okay if your afraid that's natural
But first off baby let me say
I'm here for you
So don't be shy
'Cause I feel what your feelin' too
So it's alright
I'll make the first move
And pretty soon you'll realize
Those are all just butterflies
So don't be shy
Just put your hand in mine

You have this logic to just
Deny
Whats in your soul
Oh oh woah
There are somethings
You just can't fight
So let love fly

Yeah
Don't be shy
'Cause you feel what your feelin'
Too
So it's alright
I'll make the first move
And pretty soon you'll realize
Those are all just butterflies
So don't be shy
Just put your hand in mine

Don't be shy cause if eel what your feeling too
So it's alright
I'll make the first move
And pretty soon you'll realize
Those are all just butterflies
Just put your hand in mine

Don't be shy
Baby don't be shy




Don't be shy
Baby don't be shy
