You couldn't wait for answers

You just had to try those wings

And all your happy-ever-afters

They didn't mean a thing

So I'm not gonna try at all

To keep you from the flame

Just remember not to call my name



When you cry wolf

Once too often

You cry wolf

No, I won't come knockin'

You cry wolf

I won't hear you anymore



If you start to stumble

If you start to crack

If you're feeling humble

Don't look back



When you cry wolf

Once too often

You cry wolf

No, I won't come knockin'

You cry wolf

I won't hear you anymore



You can try but you can't get me

Into the fire

'Cause I'm all out of sympathy

And, baby, I can't walk this wire



Find yourself somebody new

To catch you when you fall

'Cause I got just one thing to say to you

And, baby, that's all



When you cry wolf

Once too often

You cry wolf

No, I won't come knockin'

You cry wolf

I won't hear you

You cry wolf

Well, once too often

You cry wolf

No, I won't come knockin'

You cry wolf

I won't see you

So you cry wolf

Once too often

Cry wolf

On no, I won't come knockin'

If you cry wolf

I won't see you

'Cause you cried wolf
