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