I took her at a glance just to see her breathe
Her whole style was beyond fashion in a thriller movie
I thought she was 14 or 37
Just out of a school in New York
There was nothin' shy about her
And the name was on her lips
In the car she thought she owned
There was nothin' shy about her
'Cause her name is Elizabeth
If you saw her
You'd be blown
There is nothin' shy about her
In the American wilderness
Life is quiet for the few and the fortunate
And I live like she doesn't exist
But
There was nothin' shy about her
And when the sun was drained of shape
She was happy to be known
There was nothin' shy about her
'Cause her name is Elizabeth
Basin-fed and battle-grown
There is nothin' shy about her
Wants a one-night stand with marriage in full
When her sweet face looks like a William's pear eau de cologne
And she laughs under her breath like the sun's died today
There is nothin' shy about her
Wearin' grey cashmere in an oyster gown
Skippin' meals and thinkin' none the worse for wear
She eludes sleep like her and the night were bitched out square
There is nothin' shy about her
There is nothin' shy about her
And the name was on her lips
In the car she thought she owned
There was nothin' shy about her
'Cause her name is Elizabeth
If you saw her
You'd be blown
There is nothin' shy about her
Her name was on her lips
So
Just play her while she thinks she's won again
There was nothin' shy about her
'Cause she cares about it
And that's new to her
And others still pay rent
And I own this world
That kind of thinking's the least of it
There is nothin' shy about her
There is nothin' shy about her
