Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

You Cried Wolf

You cried wolf once too often

You cried wolf, you made me run

You cried wolf, I caught you bluffing

You'll cry wolf but I'll be gone

If you need someone to love

You only had to ask

Instead you pulled a false alarm

Baby, 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

You can threaten me forever

With the same old song

But you can toy with my emotions

Baby, only so long

Because the very next time

I see you talk through your hat

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