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 whiteThe search was over at least 4 2nightWhen she co-signed and then told him she was ...CHORUS:Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin whiteShy - Lips say won't but her body say mightShy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2nightOh baby (Shy)After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiationA friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliationI shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the headNo regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's deadCuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me ... "CHORUSShyShy - Lips say no but the body say mightLooks 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 2nightThe girl was rough, but he called her bluffAnd he told her not 2 know was betterFact or fiction he wonderedAnd that's when the rain and thunder got wetterAnd at the top of the page he wrote ...Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin whiteShy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2nightCHORUS(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
