Yeah, you come around here knockin' at my door beggin' me

To take another chance on you

Well, you sure do sound sorry yeah, you sure do look sad

But there's a few things I won't do

I don't do my leapin' till I take a good look

I don't skate around on thin ice

I don't run with 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 mamas voice

Sayin' baby, darlin' don't be no fool

Though you don't know how bad I want to throw you a bone

But that would just be breakin' the rules

Don't do my leapin' till I take a good look

Don't skate around on thin ice

Don't run with scissors 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 go swimmin' right after I eat

I don't go jugglin' knives

Don't cross the street without lookin' 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, no

Don't run with scissors and I don't play with fire

And you don't let the same dog bite you twice

No, I don't let the same dog bite me twice

Come on now, no my mama didn't raise no fool, son
