Lyrics

You cried wolf once too often

You cried wolf, you made me run

You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing

You cried wolf, but I'll be gone

If you need someone to love, you only had to ask

Instead, you're pullin' for some love just for a laugh

You can have your little joke, but when they see what you done

You will holler for assistance and nobody will come

Because you cried wolf once too often

You cried wolf, you made me run

You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing

You cried wolf, but I'll be gone

You can threaten me forever with the same old song

You can toy with my emotions, baby, only so long

'Cause the very next time I see you talk through your hat

You will get no more attention, I can promise you that

'Cause you cried wolf once too often

You cried wolf, you made me run

You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing

You cried wolf, I'll be gone, I'll be gone

You cried wolf

You cried wolf

Oh, you cried wolf (Once too often)

You cried wolf (Once too often)

Oh, you cried wolf (Once too often)

Oh, you cried wolf (Once too often)

Oh, you cried wolf (Once too often)

You cried wolf, you cried wolf (Once too often)

Oh, you cried wolf (You cried wolf once too often)

Once too often (You cried wolf once too often)

You cried wolf (You cried wolf once too often)

Once too often (You cried wolf once too often)

Oh, you cried wolf
