It seems you wanna give me

Oh, a lifetime of security

down on your dyin' knees

I watch you, babe

I watch you plead

But your words

come much too late

my love for you

has turned to hate

'Cause you've

taken too much time

to show me

that you're mine

When I drop you, boy

you'll need another toy

one that won't

stand up for herself

When I knock you down

you'll need another town

where somebody's

gonna talk to you

You just let me wait

now it's too late

for your delayed

delayed devotion

You try to convince me

Oh, about the possibilities

but I know that

all your poetry

just comes

from insecurity

'Cause your actions

mean nothing no more

when it's what

I've been waitin' for

'Cause you've

taken too much time

to show me

that you're mine

When I drop you, boy

you'll need another toy

one that won't

stand up for herself

When I knock you down

you'll need another town

where somebody's

gonna talk to you

'Cause you just let me wait

now it's too late

for your delayed devotion

You played me for a fool

for too long

blinded by your lies

I never saw your all

I'm no longer

under your spell

hear it in a song

you can go to hell

When I drop you, boy

you'll need another toy

one that won't

stand up for herself

When I knock you down

you'll need another town

where somebody's

gonna talk to you

You just let me wait

and now it's too late

for your delayed

delayed emotion...
