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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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
Oh no, I won't come knockin'
If you cry wolf
I won't see you
'Cause you cried wolf
