It's not a pleasant place to be
Once you have given up trying
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
In a corner of my life,
I sit and watch the world pass by
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
Hit rock bottom In my face
Withdrew from the human race
I had other fish to fry
Once I was eager, I was young
Now I wish to be left alone
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
Oh, I knew something was wrong
I could feel it in my bones
Couldn't deny it if I tried
In my head a little voice
Told me that I had no choice
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
Now I've got to turn around
And how crazy it may sound,
Got to spread my wings and fly
If I think twice, I'm gonna stay
I cannot go on this way
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
Once bitten twice shy
Once bitten twice shy
Hit rock bottom In my face
Withdrew from the human race
I had other fish to fry
Once I was eager, I was young
Now I wish to be left alone
I'm once bitten I'm twice shy
