Once Bitten Twice Shy

Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl

I'm a humming and a strumming all over god's world

You can't remember when you got your last meal

And you don't know just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock and roll was

Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus

I got there in the nick of time

Before he got his hands across your state line

Now it's the middle of the night on the open road

And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold

You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat

The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock and roll looked

Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group

Half way home in the parking lot

By the look in her eye she was giving what she got

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep

There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat

Can't keep you home, you're messing around

My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

You didn't know that rock and roll burned

So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned

You got the rhythm you got the speed

Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

I didn't know you had a rock and roll record

Until i saw your picture on another guy's jacket

You told me I was the only one

But look at you now, it's dark and you're gone

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy

So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
