Lil Old Shy Me

Sometimes I hate lil old shy me 
    Who just sits around waiting
        Missing countless oppurtunities
             Friends try to coach me 
               on what to say
                Yet I'm only human 
             I won't change my make up for any guy 
                 I get so scared 
               Sometimes I don't even understand why 
                    Friends tell me I should be concieted
                        Appearance wise
                         But even though my outside attracts
                             I want to be liked for more just that
                            So lil shy me doesn't use her face
                                  She uses her heart 
                                   and mostly her brain
                                    To reel in 
                                       Part of me is saying 
                                       Maybe lil old shy me isn't enough
                                          That to get what I want I have to
                                                    Be rough
                                              Cause your a prize 
                                            A gift sent down from god
                                                 Maybe your use to the aggressive type
                                                     I couldn't be that way if U threatened to stab me
                                                           Or maybe I could but what a chage that would be
                                                                My heart is racing
                                                                 I need to offically enter the race 
                                                                     Will lil old shy me 
                                                                  Go down the drain in the process
                                                                          Is that a good thing?
