Cry Wolf Lyrics by Laura Branigan

The Complete Atlantic Albums

1987

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
