The First Picture of You
Kajagoogoo; Lotus Eaters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time (after) time, (I'm) short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive,
You must must be strong
Oh, baby, try

Hey girl, move a little closer
'Cause you're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush

Modern medicine falls short of your complaints
Try a little harder
You're moving in circles,
Won't you dilate
Mmm, baby try

Hey girl, move a little closer
'Cause you're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush

Too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too
Too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too
Too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too
Too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too

You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye




Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
