Once Bitten, Twice Shy |
| Well the times gettin hard for you little girl |
| Im a hummin and a strummin all over gods world |
| You dont remember when you got your last meal |
| And you forgot just how a woman feels |
| You didnt know what rock n roll was |
| Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus |
| I got there in the nick of time |
| Before he got his hands across your state line |
| Well in the middle of the night |
| On the open road |
| And the heater dont work and its oh-so cold |
| Youre gettin tired, youre lookin kinda beat |
| The music of the street, drive you off your feet |
| You didnt know how rock n roll looked |
| Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group |
| Half-way home in the parking lot |
| By the look in her eyes she was givin what she got |
| Once bitten twice shy, babe |
| Woman youre a mess gonna die in your sleep |
| All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat |
| I cant leave you home cos youre runnin around |
| My best friend told me youre the best trick in town |
| You didnt know that rock n roll burned |
| So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned |
| You got the rhythm, you got the speed |
| Mammas little baby likes it short and sweet |
| Once bitten twice shy, babe |
| I didnt know ya got a rock n roll record |
| Until a saw your picture on another guys jacket |
| You told me I was the only one |
| And look at you now, well its dark as its dumb |
| Once bitten twice shy, babe |
