Well the times are gettin' hard
for you little girl
I'm a hummin'
and a strummin'
all over God's world
You can't remember
when you got your last meal
And you don't know just
how a woman feels
You didn't know what
rock'n'roll was
Until you met my drummer
on a Grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands
across your state line yeah
Now it's the middle of the
night on the open road
The heater don't work
And it's oh so cold
You're lookin' tired
You're lookin' kind-a beat
The rhythm of the street sure
knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how
rock'n'roll looked
Until you caught your sister
with the guys from the group
Halfway home
in the parking lot
By the look in her eye
She was givin' what she got
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Oh woman you're a mess
Gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp
And my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home
You're messin' around
My best friend told me
You're the best lick in town
You didn't know that
rock'n'roll burned
So you bought a candle
And you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm
You got the speed
Mama's little baby
likes it short and sweet
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy baby
All right
I didn't know you had a
rock'n'roll record
Until I saw your picture
on another guy's jacket
You told me
I was the only one
But look at you now
It's dark as it's dawn
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My my my
I'm once bitten twice shy
So shy
