Once Bitten Twice Shy — текст песни (Ian Hunter)

(ian hunter)



Well the times gettin hard for you little girl

Im a hummin and a strummin all over gods world

You dont remember when you got your last meal

And you forgot just how a woman feels

You didnt know what rock n roll was

Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus

I got there in the nick of time

Before he got his hands across your state line



Well in the middle of the night

On the open road

And the heater dont work and its oh-so cold

Youre gettin tired, youre lookin kinda beat

The music of the street, drive you off your feet

You didnt know how rock n roll looked

Until you caught your sister with a guy from the group

Half-way home in the parking lot

By the look in her eyes she was givin what she got



Once bitten twice shy, babe



Woman youre a mess gonna die in your sleep

All the blood on my hand and my les paul heat

I cant leave you home cos youre runnin around

My best friend told me youre the best trick in town



You didnt know that rock n roll burned

So you bought a candle and you loved and you learned

You got the rhythm, you got the speed

Mammas little baby likes it short and sweet



Once bitten twice shy, babe



I didnt know ya got a rock n roll record

Until a saw your picture on another guys jacket

You told me I was the only one

And look at you now, well its dark as its dumb



Once bitten twice shy, babe
