You know, it's when they look you in the eyes and they say...
The lyrics to Steve Vai's song I Would Love To depict a person's fear to express their love due to shyness. The line "No, I'm very, very shy" shows how the person is hesitant and uncomfortable in expressing their feelings. The fear of rejection and vulnerability can be crippling for a shy person, and they may refrain from making the first move, even if they love someone.
The second line "You know, it's when they look you in the eyes and they say..." indicates that the person has been in situations where they are faced with the opportunity to express their love but couldn't bring themselves to do so. The fear of the unknown and the possibility of rejection can be overwhelming and prevent a person from taking a chance on love.
Overall, the song captures the inner struggle of a shy person who desires to express their love but is hindered by their fear and insecurity.

That's Steve's wife Pia in the black shirt. Former bass player for Vixen before they got famous in the 80's. They been married over 30yrs with 2 kids. She's a hottie and the 2 other girls are Steve's sisters. They are the ones his song "Sisters" is based off of.

I thought it was an actor chosen to play a girl named Pia in honor of Steve's wife.

Ahhh, 1990 such a beautiful year for Music. 17 year old ME watches Total Recall, falls in love with Sharon Stone, picks up Passion and Warfare and this becomes my new favorite song ever! I still cherish my guitar magazine with Steve (and snakes on the cover) that had THIS song and For the Love of God together (their Tabs) My pre-internet beginner guitar self couldn't handle this much power! This song encapsulates the true bliss and joy of falling in love for the first time, and every time I hear it immediately takes me back to simpler wonderful times. Life is short so be excellent to each other!
