Once burned, twice shy
I’ve learned , I’ve cried
And I’m never gonna hurt that way again
Once burned , twice shy
My heart, I’ll hide
If it’s ever gonna have a chance to mend
Here he comes again
He wants to talk to me
And as he walks to me
I feel so empty inside
Oh what can I say to him
He’s the one who hurts me so
Tell him that he’ll have to go
I’ve got no more tears to cry
Once burned, twice shy
I’ve learned , I’ve cried
And I’m never gonna hurt that way again
Once burned , twice shy
My heart, I’ll hide
If it’s ever gonna have a chance to mend
Someday he’ll learn
Someday he’ll get burned
And he’ll say:
Once burned, twice shy
I’ve learned , I’ve cried
And I’m never gonna hurt that way again
Once burned , twice shy
My heart, I’ll hide
If it’s ever gonna have a chance to mend
