Song by Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA) "Once Burned, Twice Shy" is from the "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" album from 1983. She recorded and preformed it together with Smokie: Alan Silson, Chris Norman and Terry Uttley as backing vocals. The song I used for this video has the typical Smokie sound.

It was a special TV show in Stockholm from April 1983. This TV show was part of a promotional tour to publicise her first solo album after Agnetha left Abba. It was called "Wrap Your Arms Around Me". The album reached No.1 in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Denmark. "Once Burned Twice Shy"song reached No.1 in Sweden, Belgium and No.3 in Holland.

Lyrics:

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
