Lyrics

You couldn't wait for answers

You just had to try those wings

And all your happy-ever-after 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

When you cry wolf, no, I won't come knocking

When you cry wolf, I won't hear you anymore

If you start to stumble

If you start to crack

And if you're ever feeling humble, don't look back

When you cry wolf once too often

When you cry wolf, no, I won't come knocking

When you cry wolf, I won't hear you

You can try, but you can't get me into the fire

'Cause I'm out of sympathy

And I can't walk this wire

So find yourself somebody new

To catch you when you fall

Cause I got just one thing to say to you and that's all

When you cry wolf once too often

When you cry wolf, no, I won't come knocking

When you cry wolf, I won't hear you

Baby baby, cry wolf

When you cry wolf

I won't hear you anymore
