"You don't need to be ___, Roy" (rhyming Paul Simon lyric)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coy

(Other definitions for coy that I've seen before include "Military team in brief" , "Group of soldiers" , "Demure, like Marvell's mistress" , "Reserved" , "Pretending shyness" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
