As recorded by Status Quo (From the 2000 Album FAMOUS IN THE LAST CENTURY) [Intro] C5 [Verse 1]
C5
Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl

      G5                          D5
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world

C5
You can't remember when you got your last meal

    G5                        D5
And you don't know just how a woman feels

Bb5
You didn't know what rock n' roll was

  Eb5
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus

Bb5
I got there in the nick of time

  Eb5
Before he got his hands across your state line
[Chorus]
        C5                                F5
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

C5                                F5
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

C5                                F5        G5 N.C. G5 N.C.
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
[Verse 2]
             C5
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road

    G5                         D5
The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold

C5
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat

    G5                        D5
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

Bb5
You didn't know how rock n' roll looked

  Eb5
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group

Bb5
Half-way home in the parking lot

       Eb5
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
[Chorus]
        C5                                F5
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

C5                                F5
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

C5                                F5        G5 N.C. G5 N.C.
I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

      C5
Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep

        G5                       D5
There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat

C5
Can't give you home for messin' around

   G5                             D5
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

Bb5
You didn't know that rock n' roll burned

Eb5
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned

Bb5
You got the rhythm, you got the speed

Eb5
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
[Chorus]
        C5                                F5
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe

I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy
