After a month of just bein' alone he said, "I wonder what L.A.'s thinkin'"

Streets he roamed in search of a poem amongst the wild and drinkin'

When he sees cool dark skin in hot virgin white

The search was over at least 4 2night

When she co-signed and then told him she was ...



CHORUS:

Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



Oh baby (Shy)



After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation

A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation

I shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the head

No regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's dead

Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me ... "



CHORUS



Shy



Shy - Lips say no but the body say might

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home..

Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



The girl was rough, but he called her bluff

And he told her not 2 know was better

Fact or fiction he wondered

And that's when the rain and thunder got wetter

And at the top of the page he wrote ...



Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night



CHORUS

(Oh, say it now, yeah)

(Shy, shy!)

(Shy)



Ooh baby, don't U wanna be alone 2night?

Shy - Yeah (Oh yes)

Shy (Shy)

Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
