Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Ian 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 had your last meal

And you don't know just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock and roll was

Until you met my drummer on the 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' kinda beat

The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock and 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

I said 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 and 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

I said 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

Alright! I didn't know you had a rock and 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 as dark as it's gone

I said 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

I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy babe

My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
