I'm trying to find that special someone,
But I am so afraid,
a wimp like me is always on the run.
I just made so many foolish choices before,
how am I to know, I don't know anymore.

What's to be for this shy kind of guy,
how do I know if she slips on by?
For what am I to say,
to whom am I supposed to say this to?
I am so confused, not knowing what to do.

Am I just to keep my big mouth shut.
To keep them for me,
let them be buried beneath my gut.
To hold and keep these feelings inside,
put it in my heart, forever to hide.

What's meant or not meant to be,
is this really what's for me?
I just want to be loved,
along with everybody else.
Is it that I'm just fooling myself?

To be something more than friends.
To have one another,
to be with till it's faithful end.
To have someone to hold and touch,
or am I just asking for to much?

Where oh where are you Dear Abby,
where is your advice column for me?
For I need somebody to help me out,
to show me what this is all about.
