Too Shy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tongue tied or short of breath
Don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong
You're not naive, you must be strong
Ooh, baby try

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey girl, move a little closer

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Ooh, try a little harder
Moving in circles won't you dilate
Ooh, baby try

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey girl, move a little closer
[Chorus]
'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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

In the US, the band never scored another top 40 hit, earning them the label of one-hit wonder there. In fact, VH1 ranked the song at #9 on their one-hit wonders of all time list in 2009. Kajagoogoo had more success overseas – in a half-dozen countries, the band reached the top 20 at least one more time.
