Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Ian Hunter

Well the times getting hard

For you little girl

I'm a humming and a strumming

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 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 don't work

And it's oh so cold

You're getting tired baby

You're looking kinda beat

The music of the street

Drive you off your feet

You didn't 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 giving what she got

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe

Woman you're a mess

Gonna die in your sleep

All the blood on my hand

And my les paul heat

I can't leave you home

Cos 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 loved and you learned

You got the rhythm you got the speed

Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe

I didn't know ya got a rock n' roll record

Until a saw your picture

On another guy's jacket

You told me I was the only one

And look at you now

Well it's dark as it's dumb

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe

Once bitten twice shy babe
