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 ...
    CHORUS:
  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
    Oh baby (Shy)
    After a look much louder than words she said, "I passed my initiation
  A friend of mine, he got killed and in retaliation
  I shot the boy ("Pop! Pop!"), huh, twice in the head
  No regrets, no sorrow - I'm goin' back 2morrow 2 make sure he's dead
  Cuz if I don't, they'll call me a chicken, but U can call me ... "
    CHORUS
    Shy
    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 - Cool dark skin in hot virgin white
  Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
    CHORUS
  (Oh, say it now, yeah)
  (Shy, shy!)
  (Shy)
    Ooh baby, don't U wanna be alone 2night?
  Shy - Yeah (Oh yes)
  Shy (Shy)
  Shy - Looks like we're gonna take the long way home 2night
