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
