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, 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 looking tired
You`re looking 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 giving what she got

Said my, my, my
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 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

I said, my, my, my
I`m once bitten, twice shy, baby
My my my, I`m once bitten, twice shy, baby
My my my, once bitten, twice shy, baby

All right

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

Oh, 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

My, my, my, I`m once bitten twice shy, so shy
