She was so sweet, so shy.
She said she'd never been with another guy.
I never wondered, never asked her why.
She was so sweet, so shy.
She was so sweet, so shy.
Swore I'd never ever make her cry.
Now that's the truth, you know I'd never lie.
To my so sweet, so shy.
(CHORUS)
Things can turn bitter.
Things can turn bad.
You can be smilin' and still be sad.
Spend your whole life lookin'.
For a love they only talk about.
Well, I knew I had found it.
Yes, I knew I had found it.
She was so sweet, so shy.
When we first made love well I heard her sigh.
Swore our love would never die.
She was so sweet, so shy.
(repeat chorus)
She was so sweet, so shy.
She said, "Love fades away now, by and bye.
But at least we can say we gave it our best try."
Yes, she was so sweet, so shy.
(repeat chorus)
She was so sweet, so shy.
She said she'd never been with another guy.
I never wondered, never asked her why.
She was so sweet, so shy.
