Cry Wolf

Written by J. Johnstone.

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
