Hello!
Well the time's gettin'
hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a
strummin' all over
God's world
You don't remember
when you got
your last meal
And you forgot
just how
a woman feels
You didn't know
what rock 'n' roll was
until you met a
drummer on a
greyhound bus
I got there in the
nick of time
before he got his hands
across your state li-i-ine
Well in the
middle of the night
on the open road
and the heater don't work
and it's oh-so cold
You're gettin' tired
baby lookin' kinda beat
the music of the street
drive you off your feet
You didn't know
how rock 'n' roll looked
until you caught
your sister with a guy
from the group
Half-way home in the
parking lot
by the look in her eyes
she was givin'
what she got
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Woman you're a mess
gonna die in your sleep
all the blood on my hand
and my Les Paul heat
I can't leave you home
'cos you're runnin' around
my best friend told me
you're the best
trick in town
You didn't know
that rock 'n' roll burned
so you bought a candle
and you loved
and you learned
You got the rhythm
You got the speed
mamma's little baby
likes it short and sweet
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
I didn't know ya got
a rock 'n' roll record
until I saw your picture
on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the
only one
and look at you now
well it's dark
as it's dumb
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
Once bitten
twice shy babe
