Irish Selection 1987:
Charlie McGettigan - "Are You Shy"

Are You Shy

You're clouded up with secrets
You never show your hand
Very few arrangements in your band
I could talk all night about you
And not mean a single word
You've got the shortest story ever heard

Are you shy? (Oh, are you shy?)
Or are there some more reasons why
You don't seem to laugh or to cry (laugh or cry)?
Or is it simply that I can't see you?
Is it there? There has to be something to share
I wonder if you're really there (really there)
Or is it simply that I can't see you?

You keep a short selection
You're seldom someone new
You suffer their devotion to you
Titillating conversation
Would seem where you are at
But mostly, you're just talking through your hat

Are you shy? (Oh, are you shy?)
Or are there some more reasons why
You don't seem to laugh or to cry (laugh or cry)?
Or is it simply that I can't see you?
Is it there? (Oh, do you care?) There has to be something to share
I wonder if you're really there (really there)
Or is it simply that I can't see you?

You get that look upon your face
The kind of look that's hard to trace
But it's in your face that you don't wanna know me
You don't wanna know me

Are you shy? (Oh, are you shy?)
Or are there some more reasons why
You don't seem to laugh or to cry (laugh or cry, yeah)?
Or is it simply that I can't see you?

Are you shy? (Oh, are you shy?)
Or are there some more reasons why
You don't seem to laugh or to cry (laugh or cry, yeah)?
Or is it simply that I can't see you?

I cаn't see you
Are you ѕhy?
