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'n'roll was Until you met my drummer on the Great Jubas 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 The heater don't work and it's all so cold You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat The rhythm of the street show knocks you off your feet You didn't know how rock'n'roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the groove Halfway home in the parking lot By the look in her eye, she was giving what she got She said, 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 Oh, woman, you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep There's blood on my hand and my lips crawl speed 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'n'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 She said, 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 Alright! I didn't know you had a rock'n'roll record Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket You showed me I was the only one But look at you now, it's dark as it's dawn 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 Shy Shy Shy
