Laura Bryna is an American country music singer. She has released one album, Trying to Be Me, for the defunct Equity Music Group label, and has been involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Bryna was born in Mount Airy, Maryland on December 25. When she was young, she gained an interest in country music on road trips to Washington, D.C. while her brother was in a hospital there. After attending Philadelphia's University of the Arts, she starred in a musical called Rasputin and moved to Nashville, Tennessee. There, she got internships at Sony Tree Publishing and DreamWorks Publishing, and later signed to Equity Music Group, a label owned by singer Clint Black, in January 2006. Mike Kraski, head of the label, said that he became aware of Bryna after she co-wrote and recorded song titled "Make a Wish" for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Bryna toured with Black in late 2007 before Equity released her debut album, Trying to Be Me, in January 2008. To promote the album, Bryna broadcast the music video for the single "Make a Wish" on flat-screen monitors in the Luxor and Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for one month. She also performed at the Fashion Show Mall and had 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) images of herself on top of the Luxor's tower. On January 14, she held a release party for the album at the Luxor, and included a bonus track called "I Don't Have a Thing to Wear" on a special edition of the album which was released only at the Luxor and Excalibur.
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
