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...
