He looks at you, he looks at her
Nothing doing either way
He can't bare the thought of pain
He's gone gun shy much to the girls' disdain
Attracted at first
Yet he can't seem to get past the thought of hurt
You're beautiful and caring
He likes you but he isn't daring
Sweetness and goodness
He'll kill you with kindness
You cry out for that chance
That chance of receiving his kiss of bliss
Oh why can't he be certain
Why is his heart hiding behind that curtain
Gun shy, gun shy, oh he's gone gun shy
He looks at you, he looks at her
Nothing doing either way
He can't bare the thought of pain
He's gone gun shy much to the girls' disdain
He wants you
He wants a lot of things
Not one for flings
He's everything you want and need
But when, oh when, will he succeed
In making his poor heart stop bleed
The glances, the gazes, the touches
He is a true gentleman
Coming and going as if a piece of wind
Thoughts crowd the minds
He's confused, you're certain
Why is his heart hiding behind that icy curtain
Gun shy, gun shy, oh he's gone gun shy
He looks at you, he looks at her
Nothing doing either way
He can't bare the thought of pain
He's gone gun shy much to the girls' disdain
Even when you're the only one around he's all but certain
Confidence usually brimming
Gone. So are the chances slimming
You want him
You're doing all you can
So are the other girls
But he doesn't seem to give a damn
Gun shy, gun shy, oh he's gone gun shy
He looks at you, he looks at her
Nothing doing either way
He can't bare the thought of pain
He's gone gun shy much to the girls' disdain
Reach out
Call out
Even scream and shout
Is it getting through to him?
Your love for him can't remove his doubt
Gun shy, gun shy, oh he's gone gun shy
He looks at you, he looks at her
Nothing doing either way
He can't bare the thought of pain
He's gone gun shy much to the girls' disdain
