Once Bitten Twice Shy Songtext
von Ian Hunter

(I love her)

Well, the times 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 '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 gettin′ tired, baby, lookin' 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 groove
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes, she was givin' what she got


And now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
And now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
And now, ah, ah, aw
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 ′cause you're runnin′ 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

And now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
Oh, and now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
Hey, hey, aw (and now, ah, ah, aw)
Once bitten twice shy, babe

I didn′t know you got a Rock 'n′ Roll record
Until I 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


And now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
And now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy, babe
Huh, and now (ah, ah, aw)
Once bitten twice shy, babe
(Oh) and now, ah, ah, aw
Once bitten twice shy

(Oh, hey)
(Oh, oh, hey)
(Hey)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(Aw, aw)
(Aw)
