(I. Hunter)

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



I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe



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' kinda 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

Half-way home in the parking lot

By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got



I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe



Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep

There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat

Can't give you home for 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

Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet



I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe



I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy
