Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Half-way home in the parking lot
I got there in the nick of time
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
By the look in her eye, she was giving what she got said
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
But look at you now, it's dark and you're gone
You can't remember when you got your last meal
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
I said, my my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
My best friend told me, you're the best lick in town
Until you met my drummer on a gray tour bus
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet I said
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You told me I was the only one
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
My my my, I'm once bitten twice shy, baby
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
