Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl I'm a-humming and a-strumming 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 and 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 looking tired, you're looking kind of beat The rhythm of the street sure 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 Half way home in the parking lot By the look in her eye, she was giving what she got I 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 going to die in your sleep There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat Can't keep you home, you're messing 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 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 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 dark and you're 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 Ooh, so shy So shy, so shy So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
