For every tongue-tied bashful boy
For every not so pretty girl
I offer them all my condolences
For having to live in such a world....
For every tongue-tied bashful girl
For every not so handome guy
I offer to all a special salute
As the cruel world passes us by....
Everyone is something special
You'd be surprised what you can do
Free yourself from any shackles
And with a smile, just be you....
All should remember a simple truth
Beauty is not so special a thing
Find a nice mate with personality
Your heart will fairly sing....
For every tongue-tied bashful boy
I have always been one of you
Life always left me on the sidelines
But I have managed to muddle through....
Finally one day in a flash it occurred to me
Like an educational slide show for me to view
Suddenly, it was so very plain to see
That people like us are special people too....
