Great White - Once Bitten, Twice Shy Lyrics
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
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 looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock and roll looked
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got
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
Woman you're a mess going to 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
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
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
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, baby
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy

Great White Once Bitten, Twice Shy Comments
Pretty cool that they had Dana Carvey in his Garth outfit on the keys.
Everyone's commenting their age. 26 and rockin' on
remember when music was real. everybody wanted to be member of a band so they could have one of those real hot girls .
How disappointing. The awesome guitar jam session at the end of the song is left out of this version!
Dog hair days
Mike Anton I used to rock the church parking lot with this song in my black Trans Am great times
LOL I meant my kids and I used to rock the church parking lot in my black Trans Am with this song great times
2020????
Hey Look! It's The Same Girl From Warrent's Cherry Pie!
I tied his shoe at a concert with Carrie Basore when I was 14 in Independence, KS. We used the spray hair brushes to drink vodka. Yep ❤️ RIP Carrie Ann
To shy to bite it Gerber babies a pot.
Fekkin pissah
I'll never listen to these guys ever again : because of what happened in RI
Good, but Ian Hunter version so much better....
I just love this song I have been hurt before too
Why would you listen to this shitty cover of Ian Hunter's masterpiece?
Bobby brown has been my fantasy for 30 years
👏 No 👏 One 👏 Cares 👏 What 👏 Year 👏 You 👏 Are 👏 Watching 👏 This 👏 In 👏
I'm going to over analyze some of the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard. So, she doesn't know when she had her last meal...why. mc Donald's has a 1 dollar menu. She doesn't know just how a woman feels, I assume because she's been deprived of his magical penis for way too long. Then I have to question what happened on the bus, I guess he busted in just in time to rescue her from getting fingered by the drummer, as I assume that's what " crossing her state lines" is code for? Don't even tell me why there's blood on his amp cause I don't want to know. He then says that mama's little baby likes it short and sweet? Is he referring to his manhood, or the length of his love making? Either way, not good for him. I could go on, and I just may in a part 2 of my rant. In a nutshell though, these lyrics are so bad.
I was looking at the rocker girls again from my teenage years.
I really miss how girls/women used to dress back then. They were very feminine and very sexy to me...they were still influenced by rock and roll.
i can't wait for 2020 so someone get on here and ask who's still listening to this is 2020
Once bitten, twice shy, baby!!!
Bobbie Brown is hot as hell
You may be thinking of Bobbie Brown. Bonnie Brown was a country singer who died recently.
@Dabig Ragu oh Sorry, the blame is on the corrector
@Nash Yeah Ahh, those things mess with me too. Thanks for being so cool about it.
My freind died at their concert
mike wood I’m sorry for him... kinda, because everyone has to die and that seems a cool way at least at first glance 🙈 How was that possible?
Pretty sure Ian Hunter would have been happy with this cover, I know I am. When I die, I want to be reborn back in the 60s so I can relive three fantastic decades of music, and this time not sell most of my record collection. LOL
This band is just a bunch of murderers
.....they should have gone to jail
Great video
Rip to my sister who rocked the shit out of this. You could hear her coming from 3 streets over playing this song as loud as her car speakers would go.
Yo, this shit's on fire!
No pun intended
Is the keyboardist Dana Carvey? lol
If your Dog has Tic's he may not be A dog wake up Flea bags
Great White fucking BADASS! I CAN NOT GET HOOTERS GODDESS JESSICA OFF MINE CODY BRYSON'S MIND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON TONIGHT
Anyone else here who isn't past their 40s?
Dec 6th 2019
The original Ian Hunter version 1975 heaps better!
Me and my kids riding in my black Trans Am rock in the world with this song
"MY BEST FRIEND TOLD ME YOU WERE THE BEST 'LICK' IN TOWN"! ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY, BABY...
I used to love this song, now I'm racing toward the stereo to turn it off just as fast as I can after they roasted a hundred and two human beings alive in that Rhode island nightclub.. never listen to him again , ever 👎
♥ 🌎 ✌️
love the hand gesture, just in case you didn't know what "across your state line" meant... such an effective communicator...
Put the top down, drive a little faster and TURN IT UP!!
Verona NY ! I am going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im.28 and grew up listening to this because of my parents. Love the 80s
03:58.. OMG women were so f-ing hot back then!
Reminds me of my favorite summer of all time, Summer of 1989.
40 years here, rock n roll will never die
It truly makes me sick that this video only has around 18 million views, while artists like Billie Eilish and the likes have billions. Something is wrong with the world!
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
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 looking tired, you're looking kind of 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
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got
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
Woman you're a mess going to 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
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
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
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, baby
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
Kentucky Headhunters' Walk Softly on this Heart of Mine brought me here.
i like the way you play keyboard, I like your ryymh, and I' a solo guitarist, what has to do with that' kisse gIULIA
i,m 56 and still listening to this music.
This is by far the most boomer comment section I've ever seen. Age doesn't matter, just enjoy the good music
I grew Up in La. harbra in the 70'0 and 80's and had a blast eating mushrooms with the Jack, and the boy's...
I'd say Bobbi brown was in about 75 percent of the rock vids from 87 -90
That was a good thing!
19 and here for this. Rock and roll is the only genre I listen to. If only I could’ve been around to witness all of the great music of the 80’s...
Great cover of an Ian Hunter song.
I'm 18, and I still rocking while 90% of people like to hear Autotune.
Rock is life.
Rock n’roll
At 45 I just caught the end of the good shit. I was a young teen in the late 80's, saw all the good bands and to me it was just another rock band coming through town. If I only knew how good I had it back then...
i had an audio cassette i played in my car with just this song on it, sides A and B :)
I can't believe that they cut out the solo at the end of the song. That is one of the best parts.
wh\ do people listen to a shitty cover of a great Ian Hunter song?
ok boomers
Back when girls were gorgeous...
It's a terrible cover of an Ian Hunter song you American idiots.
my
my
my
Love that Kim Anderson wow.
“There’s blood on my amp and my Les Paul is beat” - Has to be the best line in all of rock and roll!!!
This song and video came out my senior year HS 🤘
Always will be a good tune.....
80's chicks where THE chicks!
Piano player resembles Dana Carvey
This is one of my favorite song by Great White and Great White does a wonderful job of singing this rock n roll song and it still nice to hear a song from my high school years that will stand the test of time.
Ilike this song for two reason one i like to rock&rolland two i would like to Deecade it to my girlfriend clrissa laub and my bbff like a sister fromanother mother rose
