The video suggests a girl(waitress) and a guy attracted to each other from a distance. There's something there but they're too pent up to do something about it. But in the land of 70's & 80's double entendres, if you look closer, it's likely about sex. "First time jitters" specifically. Guy trying to get his girl to "relax" aka "dilate" for penetration but she's too nervous. Pretty clever wording and melody if you think about it.
Too Shy
Lyrics
Tongue-tied or short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must must be strong
Ooh, baby, try
Hey girl
Move a little closer
You're too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush
Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Ooh, try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate?
Ooh, baby try
Hey girl
Move a little closer
You're too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush
You're too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush
You're too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush-hush, eye to eye

The melody is poignant and tender yet seductive and intimate & prematurely fades.
