Once Bitten, Twice Shy

by Shy

on Once Bitten... Twice... (1983)

I knew a man who once threw his love away
He gave his heart to a girl he saw in the street one day
A sweeter thing he'd never seen the likes before
He'd sit around and dream all day, never work at all

Hey, hey
I see you walking down this way
Will you love me, never leave me
Always see me, can we run away
I think I've got something you need
She didn't love me and now...

Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy

She lay wide awake in bed wondering what to do
Well, that good-looking guy could do a lot for you
She caught him home late one night, 'cause she had to say
I think I love you, baby, now that I've changed my ways

Hey, hey
Can't you see what you've done to me
I came down to earth today, saw reality
He's so conscious about girls now
He just won't go out

Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy

Hey, hey
Can't you see what you've done to me
I came down to earth today, saw reality
I'm so conscious about girls now
I just won't go out

Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy

Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
Broken hearts feel once bitten, twice shy
