Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You don't remember 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 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 gettin' tired baby, lookin' kinda beat
Music of the street 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
Halfway home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was givin' what she got

(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe

Oh, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's heat
Can't leave you home, you're runnin' 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

(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe

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 as dark as it's gone

(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe

(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
(You know I'm) once bitten, twice shy babe
