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