Once bit, twice shy Just the average kind of guy Loved and lost felt the pain The need to start all over again Heart broken, on the mend The loss of that special friend The look and feel of despair War and love where it's all fair You just want a place to hide Don't show the hurt you feel inside Keep your feelings bottled up An abandoned ship you won't give up Sing me a love song, song of pain Sing me a love song, sing a song of pain They're one in the same Started young and innocent All the good times that were spent Soft caress and sweet perfume A hopeless love on its way to doom In time you grow apart Feel the anguish of a broken heart Caught in a love that didn't last Cleanse yourself of the past You just have to let it go Try not to let your feelings show You don't know where you went wrong Experience will make you strong A love song, song of pain Sing me a love song, song of pain Time passes, your heart grows cold To the echo of the old In with the new, on to the next Life can be so complex Once bit twice shy Just the average kind of guy Loved and lost felt the pain The need to start all over again You just have to let it go Find someone new and let love grow Seize the moment don't take to long Experience will make you strong Sing me a love song, song of pain Sing me a love song, extinguish the flame Sing me a love song, song of pain Sing me a love song, relinquish the blame
