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
