Well the times 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 line      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 you're 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   Once bitten twice shy
