Once Bitten Twice Shy Lyrics By Great White

    well the times are getting hard for you little girl
    i’m a humming and a strumming 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 and 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

    now it’s the middle of the night on the open road
    and the heater don’t work and it’s oh so cold
    you’re looking tired you’re looking kind of 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
    half way home in the parking lot
    by the look in her eye she was giving what she got

    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby

    woman you’re a mess going to die in your sleep
    there’s blood on my amp and my les paul’s beat
    can’t keep you home you’re messing 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

    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby

    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 dark and you’re gone

    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby
    my my my i’m once bitten twice shy baby

    so shy so shy so shy so shy
    so shy so shy so shy so shy
