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 ... 

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

A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation

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

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

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