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
