Lyrics
Shyness is nice
And Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to
Shyness is nice And Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to
So, if there's something you'd like to try If there's something you'd like to try Ask me I won't say "NO" - How could I? -
Coyness is nice And Coyness can stop you From saying all the things in life you'd like to
So, if there's something you'd like to try If there's something you'd like to try Ask me I won't say "NO" - How could I? -
Spending warm, Summer days indoors Writing frightening verse To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg
Ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me
Because if it's not Love Then it's the Bomb The bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb The bomb that will bring us together
Nature is a language - Can't you read? - Nature is a language - Can't you read? -
So, ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me
Because if it's not Love Then it's the Bomb The bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb The bomb that will bring us together
If it's not Love Then it's the Bomb Then it's the Bomb That will bring us together
So, ask me, ask me, ask me Ask me, ask me, ask me
