Another pretty friend got my hand caught in the cookie jar
Twisted words twisted curves what you've heard's been obscured by a bitter heart
Yeah you know where to go what stones to throw
I was wrong lesson learned
As the knife in my back is turning
Ooo-ooo-ooh no
I won't get that close
Not anymore
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
Hanging out day and night got you by my side
Saw you burn a bridge or two or four or five
And I thought of how different I must be
Thought it couldn't happen to me
Victim eyes crooked smile
Ladyfingers spinning facts around while I
Try to keep my hands clean
From the filth pouring out of your dirty mouth machine
Ooo-ooo-ooh no
I won't get that close
Not anymore
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
Ooo-ooo-ooh no
I won't get that close
Not anymore
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
I've been burned before
