Ian Hunter - Once Bitten Twice Shy Lyrics
(ian hunter)Well the times gettin hard for you little girlIm a hummin and a strummin all over gods worldYou dont remember when you got your last mealAnd you forgot just how a woman feelsYou didnt know what rock n roll wasUntil you met a drummer on a greyhound busI got there in the nick of timeBefore he got his hands across your state lineWell in the middle of the nightOn the open roadAnd the heater dont work and its oh-so coldYoure gettin tired, youre lookin kinda beatThe music of the street, drive you off your feetYou didnt know how rock n roll lookedUntil you caught your sister with a guy from the groupHalf-way home in the parking lotBy the look in her eyes she was givin what she gotOnce bitten twice shy, babeWoman youre a mess gonna die in your sleepAll the blood on my hand and my les paul heatI cant leave you home cos youre runnin aroundMy best friend told me youre the best trick in townYou didnt know that rock n roll burnedSo you bought a candle and you loved and you learnedYou got the rhythm, you got the speedMammas little baby likes it short and sweetOnce bitten twice shy, babeI didnt know ya got a rock n roll recordUntil a saw your picture on another guys jacketYou told me I was the only oneAnd look at you now, well its dark as its dumbOnce bitten twice shy, babe
