LYRICS
If you ever, ever change your mind
Oh then darling, you will not find
My heart is so easy, easy to fall
Under your spell
Oh, well, well, well, well, well, well, well
Once bitten, twice shy
Ah now c'mon and look me in the eye
And tell me you love me
Come on now, tell me you love me
And I will show you a lie
I will show you a lie
Because you...oh you are the cheatin’ kind
I'm not looking for the answer
I'm not wasting my time
I'm just waiting, waiting for your wings
To scratch the eyes out of the sky
Oh nothing is right
When nothing is wrong
So why do we fight
Just to get along?
Once bitten, twice shy
Ah now c'mon and look me in the eye
And tell me you love me
Come on now, tell me you love me
And I will show you a lie
I will show you a lie
Because you...oh you are the cheatin’ kind
You take a breath
Every time I exhale
Ah we're so out of synch
In a beautiful Hell
So come on and meet me at the crossroads
And I'll drive you round the bend
Cos you ain't never, no you ain’t never
No you ain’t never coming back here again
Once bitten, twice shy
Ah now c'mon and look me in the eye
And tell me you love me
Come on now, tell me you love me
And I will show you a lie
I will show you a lie
Because you...oh you are the cheatin’ kind
You, you don’t mean nothin’ to me
No, oh you don't even move me
And brother I know you been shakin’ me down
Ah but you don’t own me
Oh no, you don’t, oh you don’t control me
And I, oh I, I don’t want you around, no
Once bitten, twice shy
Ah now c'mon and look me in the eye
And tell me you love me
Come on now, tell me you love me
And I will show you a lie
I will show you a lie
Because you...oh you, you, you, you, you are the cheatin’ kind
Ah yeah, you are the cheatin’ kind
Yeah you’re the cheatin’ kind
