Discover the story of the song > Once Bitten Twice Shy – Great White

The song is about a man who is warning his partner about the dangers of the rock and roll lifestyle. He talks about how she didn't know anything about rock and roll until she met his drummer on tour and how she's now living a wild lifestyle, which he disapproves of. The chorus repeats the line "once bitten, twice shy", meaning that after experiencing the consequences of their actions once, they should be more cautious if given a second chance.
