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