[Chorus] Shy - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white Shy - Lips say won't but her body say might Shy - Looks like we're going to take the long way home tonight Oh baby (Shy) [Verse 2] After a look much louder than words she said, "I pa**ed my initiation A friend of mine, he got k**ed and in retaliation I shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the head No regrets, no sorrow - I'm going back tomorrow to make sure he's dead Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but you can call me ... " [Chorus] [Bridge] Shy - Lips say no but the body say might Looks like we're going to take the long way home.. Looks like we're going to take the long way home.. Looks like we're going to take the long way home tonight [Verse 3] The girl was rough, but he called her bluff And he told her not to 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) [Outro] Ooh baby, don't U want to be alone tonight? Shy - Yeah (Oh yes) Shy (Shy) Shy - Looks like we're going to take the long way home tonight
