I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
There's blood on my amp and my fenders beat
Woman, you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
I said, I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I said, I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
You can't remember when you got your last meal
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said, I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
The heater don't work and it's oh, so cold
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
My best friend told me, you're the best lick in town
By the look in her eyes, she was givin' what she got
Until you met my drummer on a gray tour bus
So you bought a candle and you live and you learn
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
Before he got his hands across your state line
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
I said, I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I once bitten twice shy, babe
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Half-way home in the parkin' lot
I got there in the nick of time
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
The rhythm of the street, sure knocks you off your feet
