Once Bitten Twice Shy

Well the times are getting hard
For you little girl
I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin'
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 n' 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, yeah

Now it's the middle of the night
On the open road
The heater don't work
And it's oh so cold

You're lookin' tired
You're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street
Sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know
How rock n' 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, said

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

Oh, woman you're a mess
Gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp
And my Les Paul's beat

Can't keep you home
You're messin' around
My best friend told me
You're the best lick 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, I said

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

Alright

I didn't know
You had a rock n' 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 as is gone

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