Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Hello

Well the time's getting hard

For you, little girl

I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin'

All over God's world

You don't remember when

When you got your last meal

And you forgot just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock and 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 don't work

And it's oh so cold

You're getting tired, baby

Looking kinda beat

The music of the street

Knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked

Until you caught your sister

With a guy from the crew

Halfway home in the parking lot

By the look in her eye

She was giving what she got

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Woman you're a mess

Gonna die in your sleep?

All that blood on my amp

And my Les Paul heap

I can't leave you home

'Cause you're running around

My best friend told me

You're the best trick in town

You didn't know that rock-n-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

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

I didn't know you got 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

Where it's dark as it's dark

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy, babe

Hey now, ow ow ow

Once bitten, twice shy
