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