Don't Be Shy
Burnham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I laid my eyes on you
My heart skipped a beat
Or two
Oh oh oh
Now your just catching up
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

So don't be shy
'Cause I feel what your feelin' too
So it's alright

And pretty soon you'll realize
Those are all just butterflies
