Yeah, you come around here knockin' on my door
Beggin' me to take another chance on you
Well you sure do sound sorry and you do look sad but there's a few things that I won't do

I don't do my leapin' til I take a good look
I don't skate around on thin ice
I don't scissors and I don't play with fire
And I don't let the same dog bite me twice
No, I don't let the same dog bite me twice

Well every time I start the weekend I can hear my momma's voice
Saying baby darling don't be no fool
Oh you don't know how bad I want to throw you a bone
But that would just be breakin' all the rules

I don't do my leapin' til I take a good look
I don't skate around on thin ice
I don't rscissors and I don't play with fire
And I don't let the same dog bite me twice
No, I don't.

I don't swimming' right after I eat
I don't go juggling knives
I don't cross the street without looking both ways
And I don't let the same dog bite me
Don't do your leapin' till you take a good look
Don't skate around on thin ice
Don't scissors and don't play with fire
And don't let the same dog bite you twice
No, I don't let the same dog bite me twice
