Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Once Bitten Twice Shy - Ian Hunter

Producer：Ian Hunter/Mick Ronson

I like

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 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 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 lookin' tired

You're lookin' kinda beat

The music of the street

Sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock n 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

And now

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

And now

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

And now

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

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 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

And now

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

And now

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

Hey hey hey

And you know

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

I didn't know you had a rock n 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

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

You know

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

You know

I I I

Once bitten twice shy babe

Oh you know

I I I

Once bitten twice shy

Yay yay yay ay ay ay ay

Ohhhhhh
