Oh my darling, I fear everytime you're near

I will hurt you again, so don't wait till then

Shy away, shy away, shy away from me



There's a shadow of doubt and my mind can't work it out

I' not sure of myself, so put me on your shelf

And shy away, shy away, shy away from me



You're too much of a woman, when will you understand?

I've got a lot of the Devil in me, so never hold my hand again

Shy away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



If I reach out for you, I'll break your heart in two

And I want you to stay so please hear what I say

Shy away, shy away, shy away from me



Please keep away from me, far away, safe from me

Darling, you must shy away, yeah-hey
