One time bitten, two times shy

It was written there - in letters ten feet high

That this woman loves - that man

Even the biggest fool - could understand

But then your blue eyes turned grey

You spoke a lot - but had nothing to say

So

I won't look back

I won't look back

You had all of me there for the taking

But men like you

Can't help just brea-

King

Down the roses

And trampling - them flat

One time bitten - two times shy

It's true I was smitten then, and you know why

You charmed me off my feet

Using your beautiful smile, so bittersweet

But then your blue eyes turned grey

You spoke so much, but had nothing to say

So

I won't look back

I won't look back

Even though I know you really tried to love me

It was not enough you simply had to shove me

In a corner babe, and hey - I don't want that

I gave you my best, but you blew it

You threw it back at me

You can't have the rest

'Cos that's Private Property

No I won't look back

I won't look back

When I think I see you in the distance

I call on all of my resistance

And tell myself - hey girl - don't you crack
