Intro:
You don't have to be,
Never, ever need to be,
You don't have to be,
Never, ever need to be shy.

Sandy stood in the corner of the schoolyard,
She said for her it was really hard
To go and meet new friends.
I said, "Sandy, you don't have to be lonely.
Take my hand and come with me,
I've got a lot of nice friends.
And

Chorus 1
We'd like to know more about you,
You don't have to be shy.
We understand the way you feel,
But you can make friends if you try.
Be friendly, and others will be friendly, too."

You don't have to be shy!

On the weekend, I went to meet her family.
Her Dad and Mom made it easy for me.
They smiled and they said "Hi!"
Oh, I know I didn't need to act shy, so
I talked a little bit even though
I felt a little nervous in side.
But they said:

[Repeat Chorus 1]

You don't have to be shy!

Sandy and I went to play by the seashore.
There was a kid we'd never met before,
Sitting there all by him self.
Well, Sandy and I, at first we felt a little bit shy.
We took the plunge and gave it a try,
And went to introduce ourselves.
We said:

Chorus 2
"We'd like to know more about you,
You don't have to be shy.
We understand the way you feel,
But you can make friends if you try.
Be friendly and others will be friendly.
Don't be shy, give it a try.
Be friendly and others will be friendly, too."
